Honda EU2000i gen is installed and will ride in this position at all times; at sea or underway on trailer.

Exterior view of AC. Exterior panel above AC is cut to the same size as the original window and painted white. A cover for the AC will be made in the future. View of the shelter, constructed for a previously owned pontoon boat did not allow enough overhead clearance to consider a roof top AC.

Original window was removed and could be reinstalled at any time. No screw holes were placed in either the enterior or exterior walls; the screws go into a 3/4in plywood panel cut to fit in the window opening not occupied by the AC to hold the interior panel in place. The exterior panel is glued...

Contents of frig easy to access. Lid can be quickly removed and turned to open from either side. It is so quiet when running it does not disturb our sleep at all. I plan to run the unit on 12v DC and have installed a 35a converter to keep house batt charged while not underway when AC is...

Dometic CF-50 fits easily in V berth with filler cushion removed. Height almost same as bunk height and refrig will support our weight as we enter/depart berth. We have never used this area for the head. It is kept on deck during day and placed just inside cabin door at night.

BRAZO, you answered my question 200%. I had also wondered if the gen would shut down right away if you exceeded the lift capability of the gen pump. Common sense says "yes", as vacuum in the gen tank would prevent fuel flowing into the gen fuel bowl. You confirmed that, along with the "30in...

I'm excited; my new Honda 2000 is due for delivery by FedEx tomorrow. I had thought the holiday weekend would cause it to arrive mid week next week. I have a 3 gal Atwood tank on order from WM (my old steel 5 gal tank that I had planned to use had rusted badly while just sitting around unused...

I just ordered a CF-50 from PPL. I was about to order from Am RV but kept going down the web pages and found PPL. The CF-50 is on sale at a price lower than any other I could find, plus there is no tax (Am RV charges tax in FL & CA) and shipping was $9.99 vs $72.55 from AM RV. That sale runs...

Pat who makes the ARB 50 unit? Opps, I just found it on-line. I'll read all about it now. Thanks

Texasair, which model do you have? I can see it in your photos of the Honda gen and AC, but not sure which model it is. Do you ever run in a salt water environment? I'd rather keep a freezer on the rear deck, and would get a larger unit if I did, but we have run in some serious wx and taken...

Now that the Honda 2000 is on order & en route, and the 5000BTU AC installation is well underway, I have another convenience item in mind for C-Way. I have measured the area in the bow between the bunks. We use the cushion to make up a queen size bed. The area beneath would be a perfect spot for...

Today I went to Camping World and viewed a 2000 they had on display. I could handle the weight with no problem. I lift a 45lb dumb bell for regular exercise, so the 2000 felt about the same. I will only need to lift it to table height to place it on the aft shelf I plan to build for it. I just...

Texasair, Interesting you posted this info. I have been searching for the best price on a Honda gen and studying the specs on the 1000 and 2000 units. I can have a new 1000 shipped free to my door for $769.99 or a 2000 for $899.99. For the $130 difference you get a 3yr warranty vs. 2yr and a...

WOW, what a wealth of information! I'm afraid that my 1999 Yamaha 80 only has a 25a alternator. It originally had a undersized regulator which was burned out when I bought the boat. This seems to have been a common problem. That regulator has been replaced with the heavier unit, but I'm sure I...

Texasair, Thank you for the latest post. I have looked at your photos and have decided to continue with designing a way to install my existing 5000 BTU unit in the stb aft window, much as you have done. I do have a few more questions which I will post here so everyone who has been involved can...

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my original request. As always, there is a lot of knowledge and experience out there and many glad to share that. After looking at photos and reading the responses I am thinking of using my never-used Walmart 5000 BTU unit mounted in the Stb aft window...

Just cruised St Johns in FL and had upper 90's with heat index of 105 degrees. It was bad enough during the day, but at least we were moving and had some air movement from boat speed and a 12v fan we can move around in the cabin. It was dead calm at anchor and temp remained in upper 80's well...

Cliff, I e-mailed 2 attachments to your yahoo e-mail account, and also sent you a PM. Were you able to receive either of these? Roy

Much of the trip is in wide, straight canals with open flat lands. About 1/3 of the trip is in crossing the chain of lakes along the northern part of the trip. The 30 miles of the restored section had the most scenic FL type of landscape; many large gators along the banks that are not accustomed...

I recently cruised the Kissimmee River in central FL covering the full length in both directions (round trip) from the town of Kissimmee waterfront to it's mouth at the NW corner of Lake Okeechobee. I actually began at the loading ramp in the Kissimmee River State Park located on the NW shore of...
