Generators - Event Date: 11 Feb 2015

 Hello! 👋 We are new to the forum. We bought a 2014 R-pod 178 in the fall of 2013, and are now towing it with a 2015 Toyota Tundra double cab V8. We have only taken her out approx. 4 times, but now that we are completely retired and have a plan to travel this summer. Each time we have gone out we have been hooked to full service, but trying to get ready for those times when we need to dry camp for a week, we purchased a Honda 2000i (campanion type) Generator. I have a question for those seasoned R-plodders, do you think it is sufficient enough to run the A/C and all appliances or do we need to buy the campanion and Piggyback them? 

Thank you TT! The information really helped. But you answered what we feared, that it wasn't enough juice. But had to ask as we are old time tent campers, and having the R-Pod now, we don't want to ruin thing off the bat. The info is greatly appreciated! 👍

Yeah, we ordered it from Camp World, and we ordered the campanion type so just in case we needed to order another one to piggyback. We just talked about that, and the only time we will need to use the A/C is when we are in PA, but then we will have full hook up. Mainly need lights and appliances for this year. 

Oh No! Sorry to hear that John... Hope for a speed recovery for your sake and for Teri too... 😉

I've had back issues for years.  I've considered engineering a small portable crane - basically an engine hoist - to lift my Honda EU3000 onto the cargo tray it rides on.  Even w/o back issues it is too heavy for me to lift on my own.
