I am glad our pump issue is sorted out.
Our biggest concern now is how quiet will our provincial campgrounds be this summer. There seems to be a huge push amongst generator manufacturers in the recreation market. Sadly, most are the budget "quiet" camping models, which in fact, as we all know are not. They are flying off the shelves, and the province where I live is already concerned. In casual conversation with a park employee last summer, she mentioned how impressed she was with the quiet operation of my Honda gen. She then mentioned that more and more people are buying the inexpensive ones, and this is creating chaos for park employees, as so many are complaining about the noise. It is getting to the point where they are considering posting a allowable Db list. She was of the opinion that sooner than later they will just outright ban generators from certain areas or entire parks in some cases. They do not envision walking around with Db metres all day. It is sad that it may come to this, but I do see their point of view. Unless you have experienced the sound of a dozen or so "WalMart" generators...well I don't foresee campers policing themselves anytime soon (you know the ones...barking dogs, screaming kids, loud music) so it could become interesting.
