Another introduction!

[Hippie/gypsy]

Looking to introduce myself: a little confused using this forum so here goes. My name is Patti, am in mid TN plugged into my friend's house when needed (a/c!). Live in a Lance short bed sport on a ford 250 super-duty. Have a few loose ends to tie up then will head west approximately on the 22nd ish to visit friend's in west TX. Moved from house to camper--interesting. Almost divorced, my buddy BunBun rides shotgun (she's a Corgi).

Plan is to follow weather--have a aWalmart deep-cycle marine batt for now. It's cooling off so I don't feel the stress of trying to set up 2 Honda 2000's to run the a/c. The heat decimates me...decided on one Honda eu2000 to charge the house batt so don't have to use the diesel fuel on truck. Have downloaded the manual on this genny, and the ctek250ds battery charger. Question: does the Honda have a staged controller for this application? It it's safe for computers, phones. The ctek250 appears to be for solar, wind, alternator. The genny should take care of fridge (have to confirm), small a/c unit if necessary, nuker, small heater. If a charge controller is needed, any thoughts? Also any ideas on mounting, moving genny? Have a place to store it. Can block off fumes from interior somehow, access is exterior and there is a storage "tunnel" behind it. Can leave door open for venting. Also store the Lucas and funnel in there. Believe this would pretty much complete the set up. Cannot pick up genny because of pain issues. There is a way to do this, am almost there....... Patti

Hi Patti.&nbsp; Good seeing you.&nbsp; I'm Jack.&nbsp; West Texas is a great starting place for the adventure.&nbsp; All roads lead out of West Texas.&nbsp; Here's hoping for you whatever you hope for yourself.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Hello wildmountainhoney, Tim, Jack, and of course Bri. He invited me here, thank you, Bri. All roads lead out of TX, hmmmmm. It will be an adventure, 22 mi. of gravel road to get to their place. After crossing TX <img src="/images/boards/smilies/tongue.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> They are in the middle of nowhere. Should be quite interesting.

From there just looking for some peace loving folks that dont talk about politics and the rest of the matrix. Peace, quiet, and enjoying all the little big things in life, like ice cream, brushing my buddy, and breathing...

I got the same response from the forum thingy. Not allowed. That's why I posted the question about the Honda generator and charge controller before researching the forum...just in case anyone might have a thought on it...hint hint <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Patti. Im a friend of Bill's too.

Patti:&nbsp; If you have peace-loving friends in remote west Texas who don't talk about politics you might best remain there.&nbsp; Going out in the world with the intention of not knowing about it isn't enough.&nbsp; I've had the ambition for 15 years to go through an intire presidential term without knowing who's king, never made it yet.&nbsp; Almost did once, but the NY incident shot me out of the saddle.&nbsp; And the US kings feel they have a moral obligation to keep a war going somewhere so's the citizenry has something to talk about besides spectator sports, so if they aren't whining and complaining about kings and wannabe kings, they're talking about what primitive village US military bombed the bejesus out of most lately and how many of the villagers who were planning to invade the US got their legs and arms blown off, or got stacked up for the body count.<br /><br />Helps not to have a tv or radio, not to read newspapers or magazines, but it ain't enough to rid yourself of the trivia entirely.&nbsp; If you succeed you'll have proved yourself to be an exceptional, worthy person.<br /><br />Here's wishing on you what you're wishing on yourself.
