Remote power supply systems are disclosed for use on motor vehicles The remote power supply systems may power auxiliary devices separate from the vehicle. Exemplary remote power supply systems may include one or more removable power outlet boxes that include electrical power outlets for connecting the auxiliary devices. The electrical power outlets may be powered by a generator system of the vehicle. The removable power outlet box may be removed from the vehicle for repositioning the electrical power outlets at a distance away from the vehicle. A control module may command the vehicle to move toward the removable power outlet box when the box is removed from the vehicle and a predefined length of a cord has been unwound from a reel of the removable power outlet box.

Motor vehicle remote power systems with removable power outlet boxes

An engine system is provided. The system comprises an engine, first and second compressors supplying air to the engine, a first compressor recirculation valve adjustable to two restriction levels, and a second compressor recirculation valve adjustable to three or more restriction levels.
