I think it is good to have a Genertor. I notice that no one else within view or I could hear when I walked down the street had one.

In the 1970s some neighbors of mine moved out to the Hills of Hemet Ca. The moved a single wide Moblie Home up there but no electricity or plumbing. Later they got a septic tank and propane.

The Father was part of MARs which was a group of Ham Radio operators. The occasionally let them pic through used Government equipment and he found a large single cylinder Briggs & Straton powered Military Genset. I never was interested in learning the details of what type and power rating and so on.

At night you normally used a Flashlight becaue the genrator was normally only used to run the TV unless something important required lights. Othewise Karosene Lamps were used on the table or end tables.

A similar large air cooled engine ran the pump at the public well. People that live their ran pipe to their water Tanks and filled them from the public well when needed.
