Whats wrong with financing at 300/mo?

$7,045 installed.

JESUS CHRIST. How many different ways do I have to say I am not buying a fucking APU?

Plus $2000 to get it working worth a crap.

But we want you to have one. You work for Landstar and make tons of money so that shouldn't be a problem.

Bandit can afford one and he just sits around doing nothing watching movies all day.

Rev.Vassago 08-09-2008 01:44 AM

It has nothing to do with who I drive for, or how much I make.

He's just cheap and thinks he can do it better himself.

I can buy 2 Honda 2000i's for $1750 and I can buy a rooftop AC unit for $550,hmmm let me see $2,500 vs 7K(and still have to buy a rooftop AC).

And you won't be able to hear my generator run vs the loud ass Rigmaster.

Some people get hung up on the clean look of the APU,me I would rather save 5 grand and go on a nice vacation with it.Plus I'll take the engineering of the Honda generator over the others anyday.

I also don't have room for a frame mounted APU.

Are there pictures of gas generators on catwalks somewhere? My dad has a generator and instead of paying big bucks may try this. His Honda is pretty loud though. What model generators are you looking at?

Not the Honda's I'm talking about,search any RV forum for Honda 2000i's.

From the Honda website:
EU2000i


2000 watts (16.7 A) of Honda inverter 120V AC power
Super quiet - 53 to 59 dB(A) don't quote me,but isn't normal sppech like 57dB?
Lightweight (less than 47 lbs.)
Eco-Throttle - Runs up to 15 hr on 1 gal. of fuel

If you hook 2 of these in parallel you get enough power to run the AC,microwave and coffee maker all at once,plus almost anything else you want.

Ebay is full of great deals on these units with the parallel hook ups and aux fuel tanks.

Just need the Rev. to design and work out the bugs on a mounting system and I will be ready to do it 8)
