This has been a hallmark week for the LVH CERT team. On Wednesday Greg Pfalmer brought his motorhome to the clubhouse where the entire team participated in a hands on training session. We are confident that every team member can hook up and start the generator and knows all of the safety features and where the circuit breakers and GFI reset buttons are. The unit is capable of 6500watts or 65 amps. This was explained and how not to overload the generator.
We have one more person in the park offering the use of a portable generator and we will be getting with him soon to learn the "how to" on that unit. Meanwhile Greg has made his unit available whenever it is in the park.

Greg educates the team on what to do to turn on the generator.
Greg says, "This is the Fuel Primer".
Here we see which control does which job.
Six minutes after the generator starts you have power on this outside outlet unless the GFI is tripped inside next to the shower.
Here is the circuit breaker inside ..underneath the bed.
