I picked up a 6500 Watt Gen from the Pawn shop for 400$. I should have worked on the hookup last night. It's 15F and 20mph winds here this am. -7F feels like.
23A 240 V continuous.. It will run the water pump. Just getting out of the truck is an issue, I need to make a ramp. I have no one to help me lift it out.
We are looking like less than 1/2" of ice, we may not lose power at all. The winds matter with the overhead power lines.
The conservative talk radio host brushed this storm off as nothing to worry about. This is no joke..There will be loss of life associated with it. But the Heat Waves are the biggest killer.
Johnny, in an earlier post you told us you look the 7500 watt camping...now you say the 6500 watt is too heavy to get out of the truck.
You just pulled a BeeVee.
