What do you think is the longest a person could extend the heavy duty cords and not take away power from the generator ?


Thanks,

Hi Robbie,

Ken, sorry for the late reply. We had a great 1st weekend camping in our AS. We ran the honda twins a lot using about 45 ft. of power cord and ran refrig. and micro/convection oven and everything else in the camper with not even a burp out of my hondas. (cord connections stayed cold)

I even ran eco throttle with that distance and it ran micro/convection perfectly with just a little throttle up when started.

Everything in the camper worked perfectly for the first trip and this 31 footer pulled like a dream up a steep moutain to 2600 ft with my f 250 super duty.........sure was proud of that 2001 truck.

Weather: Rained the whole time, so foggy you could not see over 100 ft. and we loved it. Ate gravy and biscuits, sausage and eggs, burgers and hot dogs were grilled, and watched Andy Griffith, 2000 leagues under the sea on my wife new dvd player...........what more could you want ?

Oh, we saw a cute little bear too.......

Hey that's great. I figure it would work OK. I'm glad you had a good time. Did you get a picture of the bear.
