Flyinfool Posted December 6, 2015 Share #6 Posted December 6, 2015 Get while the gettin is good. Most heaters will be pushing that 2000i to its limit. most heaters are 1500W and the Honda is only 1600W continuous output, that is getting close to max. Just be careful that you do not get way more heat than you bargained for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share #7 Posted December 6, 2015 Thanks for the warning, I have a ceramic heater. Does pretty at warming camper. will have to go to garag e and check watts out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted December 6, 2015 Share #8 Posted December 6, 2015 Also because of the power needs of the heater, make sure that you have a heavy duty extension cord to go from the gen to the heater. For up to a 25 foot cord it must be alt least 14ga wire, (the wire gauge should be stamped in the jacket of the cord0. You can have too small of a cord but you can never be to big. Always err on the side of bigger is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted December 12, 2015 Share #12 Posted December 12, 2015 Sam's Club had 50 ft 12 gauge cords for 26 bucks. I screwed up and only got 4 of them!!! You do realize that the Warden knows how to turn off the power at the breakers right? Just because your wiring your dog house up does not mean your actually gonna have power when you get sent out there It's getting late. As no one wants to join, will cage, camp and fish at the Cranberry River. Will be biking also but it will be pedal powe in order to get to the good fishing holes. Have fun and please dont forget those 's Captn' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted December 12, 2015 Share #14 Posted December 12, 2015 CaptainJoe Thanks for rubbing the good weather your having, we will be in the 30's and trust me that is really good for us this time of year. We are all looking forward to the ice freezing so we can go ice fishing. Season is only open till end of Feb. and there isn't any ice at all.

CaptainJoe Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share #16 Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I had a great time. Only caught one 12" trout, but the stars and quiet was worth it... Legs hurt as I foolishly rode my trek bike up Cranberry River trail for 6 miles (12 miles total) after not riding a bike in 6 mos... Will definitely do again. Learn something new every time I camp.

CaptainJoe Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share #21 Posted December 16, 2015 Night crawlers and a very tiny sinker. I only had the one bite and caught him. They will be stocking in January. They are still selling night crawlers in Cowen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoarizona Posted December 16, 2015 Share #22 Posted December 16, 2015 Supposed to be 22 this morning, guess I got up to late at 7:15! We bit chilly for us. Another hard freeze for tonight as well. Glad I got the oranges off the tree yesterday! Good to see someone camping and fishing. Glad you had a good time Captain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
