Over-the-road Generator
We use an external generator so that we can fill up the refrigerator and freezer in Reno and tow everything into Burning Man. There used to be one mounted on the tongue but this was not a good design. Currently we ratchet a portable generator down in the bed of the rental pickup truck that we use to tow the trailer. This needs to be a pretty heavy duty generator (like a 9000 watts or more) with 30 amp 207/240 output to power the condenser for the refrigerator.
