Tent Placement

As a general rule, pick a high level spot to pitch your tent. You’ll sleep better, and should it rain during the night water will drain away from your tent. Erect your tent far enough from any grill or campfire so that sparks won’t fly into it. Never set your tent up on low ground. Aim your tent door away from the direction of the morning sun. That way you won’t wake up and exit your tent into the bright sun.

Affordable, Comfortable Camping Generator

yamaha-ef2000is

EF2000iS is one of the newest generators in this portable category and EF2000iS from Yahama Motor Corporation, U.S.A. It is perfect for the campsite for easy transport a variety of uses. The EF2000iS also comes with a parallel use function which allows two units to plug into each other for double the output, while maintaining the maximum portability of two light weight generators to provide the power of one large, heavy generator.

Yamaha 2000watt Inverter Generator.

Weighing only 44 pounds and able to run all night long on a single gallon of gas, the EF2000iS is the perfect companion for RV owners and households.

Colin Iwasa, a power equipment sales manager at Yahama. Colin said “The EF2000iS is the ideal lightweight camping companion. At 2000 watts it is all the power you need to run small electric appliances. It is quiet versatile and can run for up to 8 hours on less than a gallon of gas. A powerful enough to run your refrigerator, television and some lights at home if you have a low voltage.”

Yahama provides a few guidelines for proper operation:
* Never use a generator indoors or in partially enclosed areas. A portable generator uses a combustion engine just like your car, which produces toxic, poisonous carbon monoxide exhaust gases. Set it up outdoors in a well-ventilated, dry area away from any car or trailer windows, doors and other air intakes.

* Read the manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation prior to use. This booklet comes with your generator. Additional copies are available at your local dealership.

* Keep generators away from fires and never fuel the generator while it’s running. Fuel liquids are flammable and dangerous if ingested, so store them far away from your family’s common areas and open flames. Fuel can also be sparked by a running generator, so turn off the engine before refueling.

* Use a carbon monoxide detector. Running generators create carbon monoxide, one of the most hazardous side effects of generator use. To be safe, install a carbon monoxide detector in your trailer or, if camping outdoors, keep the generator far away from any tents or enclosed spaces.

* Avoid electric shock. To prevent electric shock, never touch the generator with wet hands. Also, do not operate a generator in rain or snow in order to keep the generator dry.

* Watch out for hot engines and mufflers. Avoid placing flammable materials near the exhaust outlet during operation, and keep any generator at least three feet away from buildings or other equipment to avoid overheating. Always carry the generator by its handles.
