Texas law was changed recently so that a CHL holder is no longer required to notify the police that have CHL. It used to be that you had to present your CHL anytime you were asked for a drivers license. No longer however. Once they run your DL they will know you have a CHL.

Bob & Patty - Where did you connect the plug to that you connect to the generator? I have decided that leaving the gen set in the bed of the truck is the only way I can do this. Did you connect and RV cable to the breaker in the box in the trailer? Where did you tap in to connect the power to...

Sounds like a winner to me.

Thanks anyway. Both did a good job.

I couldn't grasp how you welded the hitches on. Thanks a lot I understand now. That is a good idea. Thanks again.

Do you have a picture of what you did?

I have decided to use two (2) Champion generator inverters for my Big Country 5th wheel. Combined with a parallel kit they are 3400 watts continuous and only wt 48.1 lbs each for a total wt of less than 100 lbs. They are 53 db and are approved for forrest service use. I want to mount them on the...

Interesting way to secure it to the trailer.

I will check into the motorcycle chain and lock. I have been trying to figure out how to bolt it down. That will be just one thing of at least two security measures. They stole from the truck in from of my house. No scratches on the truck so there was at least 2 and they probably lifted it right...

What you guys said is something I was concerned about but had no answer to so I asked for others thoughts. Carrying it in the truck or back bumper were my logical thoughts and plugging the trailer in to the generator. I have been somewhat skeptical about put the gen in the truck since I had one...

I have browsed all the generator forums and didn't see anything on this.....Where do you connect a generator in an RV that does not have the prep kit installed? I am thinking about installing a generator in the front compartment (Not the basement storage) or perhaps on a mount on the rear...

I agree Borntawade. It is better to carry a handgun than a cop. A cop takes 10-15 minutes to get there. I carry a Glock 23 .40 cal. I use an open belt holster with a vest most of the time. In the summer when it is hot I have a belt bag that has holster inside it. I can unzip it and draw just...

Thanks for the info.

This sounds like what I want to do. Now to figure out where the transfer switch connects to the electrical system.

I plan to buy a portable generator to power my BIG COUNTRY 5th wheel Model 3350TS air conditioner primarily. I want to leave it in the bed of the truck. The trailer connections are all located on the left rear corner of the trailer and it will be difficult to run the power cord to the truck...
