Not sure about AC, we don't need it in So Cal...I hook up the Honda to the
shore power plug and use the generator to power the electric battery
charger, mine is an inverter/charger that puts out 75A so it doesn't take
too long...generally 1 - 1 1/2 hrs...

Can you run the AC with your Honda????  How long does it take to charge up
your batteries???

I was thinking of getting one...  The other half would like to have AC
some nights when on the hook.

Not sure if cheapest is always better---those are reflectors, not
insulators. What I bought cost about $90, it's got an R-45 insulation
factor, 2 of them, each fits in the door opening...I can keep the
thermostat at "2" and maintain 41F for the weekend at Catalina. When I
charge my batteries with my Honda 2000 for an hour or so, I turn up the
thermostat to "5" for the duration of the charging process then back down
to "2"...

Another option is one of those auto windshield reflectors. I got one
that's sort of like 1/4" bubble wrap but metalized on both sides.
Available at discount and auto stores. Trimmed to fit easily. Stiff enough
to maintain shape and seal. Used the leftover to insulate the engine
compartment wall adjacent to the reefer. Still have enough left to do the
2 cabintop opening hatches when I get around to it.

PS. Without the label "Marine", "Boat" or "Yacht", I can actually afford
it!!

On Orlando's advice, I bought a blanket for the reefer around three
years<br>ago and found that it works just great.  The blanket sits inside
the reefer,<br>just below the lid bottoms and just fits inside the
opening.  <br><br>I just happened to come across the info a few days ago
in my desk, so here<br>it is:<br><br>Standout Yacht Fittings<br>6826 Cliff
Ave., KPS<br>Longbranch, WA 98351<br>800-622-1877<br>Fax:
253-884-2253<br><br>I ordered it three years ago, so I can't vouch that
the company is still in<br>business, but it's a toll-free phone call to
find out.  I ordered mine a<br>little longer than the reefer opening.  The
extra length provides a<br>convenient tab to pull on when you want to get
into the reefer.  I believe<br>the blanket I ordered is 13 x 38 1/2 inches
- I recommend measuring the<br>opening on your reefer before you
order.<br><br>Ray Durand, #822 <br><br><br>-----Original

Blanket It's been mentioned on previous posts the placement of a
blanket (?) over the reefer as an insulator. 1. What type
of blanket is being used? 2. Where can it be purchased? 
 3. Is it placed inside the reefer or outside the reefer? 
Thanks, in advance Hank Camelot #331
