[C320-list] FW: Re: Reefer Blanket

Ok lets just end the generator thing now. I had a motor home for 15 
years and they require 4K for the 12,000Btu Coleman air. I now have a 
hand me down Honda 3500 and it will just barely pull my AC and water 
pump besides it is loud. I thought since it was water cooled and 
looks much smaller that I could pull it easy, but not good enough to 
mess with. Now 3 weeks ago a slip neighbor with a 2000 C320 bought 
the 2 Honda's 2000 ui and connector set and it pulls his AC. They are 
very quiet and will probably run about 4 hours on a tank. Note he did 
install a co2 sensor and it went off the first time he spent the 
night, but I don' t know where he had them setting.
