Yeah, so I'm doing ok, but I don't want to shell out $8000 for an APU right now.
I got "caught" this past couple of weeks, however. If I were choosing my own loads I wouldn't have been in Michigan these past couple of weeks. But, I'm not choosing my own loads, and that's twice now I couldn't get my truck started. First time, I stayed in the motel a second day, walked across the street to Kmart and bought a battery charger and a 100 ft cord. Second time, no power outlet anywhere around. Long story short, $120 for the TA to come out and give me a jump (tried with another truck and couldn't do it) and $430 for new batteries and then realizing the ones I pulled out probably weren't bad afterall (only 19 months on them).
I'm supposed to get my Espar installed tomorrow. I'm thinking, a small gas generator might allow me to charge the batteries and heat the block and get me out of most any situation caused by the cold.
Questions, anyone know how many watts I'd need to heat my block? Anyone seen this done well, a standard portable generator being hauled around with a gallon of gas on the catwalk?
TIA
