Having recently gone to a computerized timing system we now have a need to carry portable power. I'd like to wire up our trailer with some type of car battery, inverter and recharger, but have really

IMO, spend a little more and get a small generator. We have a Coleman Powermate that is 1850Watts and is luggable (about 50#). They are around $375 new and are fairly quiet. The only downside to this

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't think a generator would be that affordable. I may consider it as a secondary option. However, the thought of a noisy engine running just outside of timing and scor

Yes, noise would be an issue - we invested about $50 in a 10 gauge, 100' extension cord and put the generator at the end of that. Dave thought noise around model day EBay. the /// unsubscribe/change

We (San Diego region) set the generator about 60-75 feet from the trailer and use a plywood enclosure around it that is hinged and folds into a flat "panel" assembly that has handles in it for ease o

North Hills had one of our members (who had just retired from Westinghouse) wire our trailer with two solar cells on the roof. They charge four 12Volt sealed lead acid batteries. We see positive char

San Francisco Region has been using the Honda EX1000 generators for 15 years or so. They start every time, require little maintenance, and are quiet. Our first one is still serviceable, though it use

Locally (Minneapolis, MN) we use a small generator. It really isn't that loud and it doesn't need to be right next to the scoring trailer. An extension cord gives you a little bit of extra space so

In Atlanta we use the long extension cord theory. Great unless you walk near the generator. . . But in Nashville, where I do a half dozen events a year, they just bought a new generator this year. Fa

The Honda "EX" series are very quiet. I have a 1,000W luggable and a 5,000W installed in my personal trailer. They are both relatively quiet and have been very reliable over 5+ years of use. Rick Bro
