| Electrical Power Supply
Buying solar panels for a shiing trip might not be the best investment.
Better may be a generator.
 Only
a couple of hours of sunshine a day and the frequent snowfall make the
motor generator one of the most sought after accessories during a skiing
vacation in Livigno. The satellite dished on the roof of the Clous, Flairs
and Hymers give a hint for which purpose the power might be needed.
Only a couple of sites already have power hookups and even these are
limited to 3 amperes. The entire camp site at Via Pemont only got upgraded
from 3.000 Watt to 6.000 Watt on Dec. 23, 7. As this includes the lightning
of the site at night, this is without any doubt insufficient for 100 motorhomes.
Don't even think of coffee machines, hair dryers or even electric heating.
You'll be happy to have your battery charged and the heating blowers running.
The
disadvantage of the generators however is the noise and the smell. With
motorhomes parked only 5 feet from each other and generators running until
late at night preventing children from sleep patience sometimes may be
wearing thin.
Power is essential for surviving and the priorities are clear: me first. |
