Yet another meet plagued by generators!!!! (1 Viewer)

[marrod23]

I'm guessing the live and let livers, use generators.

Spot on ! Especially in winter when the sun don't shine

 

[newlifedriver]

Note to everyone anyone trying to put water in my bus will need medical treatment I would take it as vandalism and treat accordingly and I would hope this will go for a lot on here is would never think of vandalising someones mh so I say shame on anyone that would

I am going to tie it to my A frame when touring Spain.

Be very careful Mr Chris...

I have it on good authority that if the cable ties you use for this job are not of the regulation width, as set down by the Spanish local laws, the police will fine you €47.37 and make you listen to a recording of a flamenco guitarist for an hour.

This is caused thro, and it only happens to THE RUFTY TUFTY Funster that sleeps,(LOOK AWAY LADIES!), in the nude, and on the inside of the bed!
Many have a "liquid" supper, while getting up every 2 hours or so during the night , to discharge the ballast, they forget the yeast in their liquid supper still reacts with tummy contents, WHICH!!, In extreme circumstances!! turns the belly contents to? Shall we say? liquid?, and hubbly bubbly!!! Teeming and steaming, till early AM It's like Mt Etna!! The pressure builds!!. Mildly irritant, goes to uncomfortable, TO!!Got to GO!!! NOW!!!
So with "Roses" tightly clenched, they swiftly scurry to the loo!
AND with great relief!

Release the explosive gasses!- - - So! interupting your commune with nature , and of course sometimes? in certain circumstances??? creating a blow back from the cassette, this of course creates an illusion of an echo reverberating, which sounds like 2, whereas it's only 1

Hope this explanation helps ?

All part of the service !

I see a gap in the market. The SOG (Sucks Out Gas) can now be joined by the BOG (Blows Out Gas). There is clearly a demand for such a device.

I am going to get a generator I think

I am going to tie it to my A frame when touring Spain.

Whilst progressing with the grey waste open I hope ¿

That is partly the reason i do my own thing and not attend big group meets, you have people that pull up so bloody close that you can barely open your door, and worse still have that f everyone else attitude and have a genny running when ever they want,

Yes I¡ll stick with a fridge lorry . At least you know it won't run for long.As long as it's not defrosting.lol

I prefer to play with real generators, not the toys you lot play with
Although to be fair, the one in the picture probably makes less noise than some those passed off as "quiet suitcase" generators.

Spot on ! Especially in winter when the sun don't shine

We've been in -17 over new year. No hook up. No genny. Trojan batteries , solar, inverter. B2B charger.
I use all my regular things. Hairdryer. Straighteners . Etc.
if your geared up . You don't need a genny. We have TV fridges, charges tinternet everything.

What bugs me is people turn up , set up, stick the blooming genny on to watch TV or what ever , straight away.
They've just turned up.
Why do they need it?
Putting it near to our van an away from theirs.

Next weekend Thursday to Sunday .
We have no water. No electric, no batteries . No nothing. If you've been following the build you will see. We aren't finished in time for Whitby goth weekend.
We need to get all gothed up , then get all the goth stuff off. Takes some doing even with leccy.
We are taking a camping gas stove. I'm taking gas hair tongs even . We dont even have a working loo !
Thankfully the school has some. And we have a portaloo just incase.

Edit we won't be using the gas stove inside.

I hope you 2 are going to be quite this weekend no banging sliding doors at 2 am blind drunk

At least we won't hear you two snoring away with all that insulation Ralphs put in. I forgot you were in the naughty corner too. The doors been adapted . New running gear. It's a dull thud now!

I have to say, the most annoying thing we have encountered was a middle aged wannnabe opera singer on a site in France, who used to practice her scales ad infinitum. I'm glad she never tried to sing a tune though, as she couldn't sing a single octave in tune!

I've also found that most people with generators come and ask their neighbours if they mind them having them on for half an hour, or whatever.

 

[Wildbill]

No one Woul want to park near me with my chainsaw at 0800 chopping wood for the wood burner

One reason we do not stay at shows anymore ...generators and diesel powered heaters.

No complaints from our neighbours yet.
Might have to turn up the thermostat!

I am never going to a Funster meet again...

The last one was a bloody disgrace.

Firstly, at the crack of dawn (11.45 AM), some thought less, selfish sod stood right outside my van and...

Do you know what?

The cheeky bugger was breathing...

Yes, breathing... out aloud. What a racket...

Then, to make matters worse, when I popped my head outside to tell him to either stop breathing or do it somewhere else, WHAMMO... I was hit by the stench of his toothpaste.

He could have stayed inside after cleaning his teeth until the smell subsided but no, he has to waft it out into the air I am using.

After such a terrible start to my day, I was just making a cup of coffee when a bloody friendly Funster knocked on my door to say hello and see if I was alright.

What a scam!

I was forced to offer him a coffee too incurring all the extra cost of coffee granules, sugar and milk.

Luckily, being wise to the ways of the Scammers, I made his coffee from the cheap powdered instant stuff I keep for just such occasions but he still got normal, full priced milk and sugar.

Then, while drinking my coffee, he starts asking all sorts of nosey questions about me and what was I up to and such like.

This sort of wretched behaviour went on for days...

Never again.

We have a 90AH battery and ran our PVC with 4 peeps, TV, lights, water pump etc for 2 weeks over Easter with approx 4 hrs driving during that time and we did not run out of power. Why some peeps feel the need to turn in their generator as soon as they arrive / get up etc is beyond me. Leisure batteries are designed to provide power when parked up so why not use them?

As for live and let live, at what point does one person's desire to use a generator over-ride the desire of peace and tranquillity for others?

On very fine clear night In the middle of the Moroccan desert 8 drunken funsters 2 ukes and a very fine rendition of polly wolley F!ng doodle
Even the French applauded (I think)

 

[ALI G]

No need to turn it up the constant tick from the pump is enough and we apologise if we have disturbed anyone when we had one

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

In the true spirit of fun this thread has gone well off track !
I fully sympathise with jaygee ,to fire up a genny at that time in the morning is just taking the pi$$ ,as is running them into the early hours period !
I wonder how many of those running them actually know what they're doing ? Is their ignorance to battery power and usage governed by the idiot that told them they needed and sold them one!
I appreciate there are medical reasons why you may need to use a genny at short notice when needs must ,but for the rest of you a little bit of common sense and Courtesy should mean a few hours every now and then in the AFTERNOON should do!
When we were in Southport a couple of weeks ago the van next to us had the genny running every time they had the tv on

Oh well - that's different.

Clearly 10 is a very odd number for a choir, so we'd have joined it and made it the round dozen before it got to the singing, and given the performance our own je ne sais quoi !

That sounds great. Can I ask which Trojan batteries you had and how many - and similarly the solar panels ? Thanks

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

I find the smell of two stroke an intoxicating elixir, assuming a good oil is part of the mix, reminds me of my misspent youth!!! Breathe it in and enjoy...

I can imagine, whilst the described emission was in progress, the howl of protest from overdriven SOG fan.

 

[Larrynwin]

I find it odd that some cannot understand the need to run a generator to keep the aircon , large led tv/DVD sound system etc to maintain a level of comfort during waking hours eg 8till midnight while away from home .

 

[K9Brian]

Oh, we stop eating for you do we

Nothing that drastic old boy. I suggest either healthy rabbit type food or if you get a posh van it'll have modern cooking facilities on board.

[Larrynwin]
