| Comment | Generators in RVs are not often used, but critical when needed; and
the available alternatives to address an RV's need for a generator
are much less effective, use more fuel, and cause more pollution
that using a generator.
In our 15 years of traveling with an RV, we've only used our
generator 6 times, each time for an emergency where our health was
at risk, be it when evacuating from the terrible smoke and fires in
the SF Bay Area in 2020 (where my wife's compromised lungs needed
continuous 110 powered air filtration and a nebulizer and thick
clouds cut down our solar panel's ability to keep up), or during
snap heat or cold spells while camping off-grid. We support clean
air regulations, power our home and RVs with solar panels and back
up batteries, and strive to be energy efficient. But there are
times when generator power is absolutely necessary in our RV. We
don't have a second home. Our RV is our second home on wheels. Why
should that home be denied back-up generator power like all other
homes?
Attached is our 2-page testimony which includes more detail on the
above summary.
Thank You, Roger and Marian Taylor
