Be carefull when using Coleman lanterns inside, the gas ones emit CO and CO2 in quantity. Have plenty of ventilation.

The only thing i have been thinking of getting for this season is a bigger generator. What i have will run the fridge, freezer, and well pump. But something that will run all of the above and a couple of window shakers at night would be nice. I can work all day in the heat but i sleep better when i am not sweating.

Groo,
The car size inverters work well, it easily kept my laptop and power tool batteries charged. Wasn't able to spend as much time online as i would have liked but was still able to get my ETS fix. Also have the 12 volt charger mounted in the truck for streamlight stingers so i was able to keep the flashlights charged.
