I could then un-plug it and place it on the floor by the passenger seat and recharge it from the cigarette lighter outlet as I drove to my next overnight stop.edlfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859730659143852274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-28400197557363339462013-05-22T00:15:04.097-07:002013-05-22T00:15:04.097-07:00Trouble - like I mentioned on my above comment to ...Trouble - like I mentioned on my above comment to Rob my power pack came in handy on many occasions and it pretty much paid for itself many times over.<br /><br />Of course I always had it charged up and ready if I needed it.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-50374179491506713052013-05-22T00:12:20.404-07:002013-05-22T00:12:20.404-07:00Rob I have one of those power packs and it worked ...Rob I have one of those power packs and it worked great with my former vehicle as it had a problem and would go dead if I did not start it up everyday.<br /><br />However, I misplaced the plug to charge it so it is useless now.<br /><br />Used it in several occasions to go camping in Terlingua and even when we had a power outage I connected a lamp to it.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-28896067638715736912013-05-22T00:04:57.617-07:002013-05-22T00:04:57.617-07:00I had no idea you had to run a generator to power ...I had no idea you had to run a generator to power up the roof A/C's of an RV in movement...MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-64601169420276205972013-05-21T07:55:08.160-07:002013-05-21T07:55:08.160-07:00You can't depend on those.

I'm using this one as an example because it has a short URL, they sell them all over the place and from what I've read some research before you buy would be a good thing.<br />http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stanley-500-Amp-Jump-Starter-with-Compressor/13035281<br /><br />I don't have one but have heard people say good things about them "in general", often as a 12vdc power source when camping out of a car or van.<br />Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-54509787110845347152013-05-21T06:01:42.840-07:002013-05-21T06:01:42.840-07:00Batteries are not cheap, that is for sure.

The house batteries are about shot but so far the two for the diesel still seem to work. I ran the generator on the way home from my west Texas trip to the Davis mountains. Since the generator is up front, that made the trip home a little more noisy than normal. But then I could run the roof AC's.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.com
