Honda Lifeboat

Two nights boondocking at the Grand Canyon North Rim brings out the survival instinct! No campsite power! Bring out the Honda generator and plug in! Recharges the Airstream batteries which are in poor condition and don't do well overnight - also allows for quick burst of the toaster and the espresso coffee machine - priorities! Hours of generator operation are restricted to 6 to 8 pm and 8 to 10 am. To help battery longevity we tracked down and switched off 12 volt stealth usage such as fridge fans and sub-woofer amplifier!
