Southernthunder,

Where I live in the stickhouse, we get citywide blackouts more frequently than I'd like. In my case, with the trailer on the driveway, I bring out the generators and stay there until things pass. It's a very nice convenience and it makes the neighbors see us still doing our things and then come over and they talk about buying expensive generators to use as their backup stickhouse power (there aren't many trailers where I live). This only lasts as long as it takes to find out this is expensive. Then the power comes back on and all is forgotten.

We also use the trailer as an extension to our stickhouse. We live so far from everyone, that when people visit, they visit in droves and we run out of bedrooms pretty quick and they want to overnight. The trailer provides two more bedroom areas and another bathroom, if needed.

One of these days, I'll convert to lighter HD TVs and save some weight in the Monty. The other mods are on a long list.
