Sometimes i think these bleeding things should come with a back up generator as standard!!!??!

Mind that would be more to go wrong on mine!!!

Cynic.......or Pragmatist.... ;)

I did think 60A in 'radio ready' mode on mine was excessive.  Perhaps it needs a wind turbine option.. >:D

60A is getting into thermo generation territory isn't it??

coal / oil potentially...
Or a marine fission reactor maybe??


Perhaps a Webasto could be converted with a small turbine unit tagged on the end...........

>:D
