Got an email from the park that Edison said power outages may happen on the strip this weekend and that we were encouraged to bring a generator.

Havent had this occur before in the last 7 years i've been going to the strip. Anyone else hear of this and or what are the odds it occurs?

My 3k generator is barely enough to keep things rolling along so i am considering even going.

I just got an email from Unisource our power provider here in Kingman and they said that we need to limit power usage today from 3pm to 8pm and most likely tomorrow and it could go further into the week. Could see some black outs.... We had a place in Echo and we got outage alerts all the time there but more of the maintenance type...

Castle Rock Shores. This place is notorious for power problems but we moved down to the beach front side and haven't had any issues since then. But again we never got a generator warning when we were on the other side with shitty electric.

Castle Rock Shores is Arizona on APS. Edison provides power to California.

I find it very odd that there is a energy shortage when you're right next to a goddamned hydroelectric powerplant/dam! WTF?

The power grid might be too small to handle the load. ??

In our rig we have an wifi smart window unit ac that runs at 86 while we are away to assist with the two roof top units. The neat part about it is you can check the inside temp of the trailer when out on the parker strip when boating. Gives peace of mind when leaving the dogs in the trailer.

Just got back from the hangar picking up a window shaker and the Honda generator.
