A vehicle mounted engine generator system is disclosed for supplying electricity to external electrical appliances and equipment used inside a camping car or outdoors in the camping site, which comprises a secondary water-cooled internal combustion engine of relatively small size and an engine generator electrically connected to the engine. The secondary engine has its cooling jacket connected to a cooling line supplying it with cooling water for engine cooling. Also, the cooling line is connected to a radiator connected to the main internal combustion engine of water-cooled type so that the heated cooling water through the secondary engine is cooled by the same radiator as for the main engine. Also, the secondary engine is electrically connected to the battery for the main engine in such a manner that the battery can be recharged from the secondary engine as well.

Vehicle mounted engine generator system

A display and control for use with an engine-equipped machine apparatus comprising a computer adapted to receive operating information from the apparatus, a memory connected to the computer and operable to store reference values of the operating information, a display connected to the computer for displaying in human readable form a selected operating information and the reference value associated therewith, a control connected to the computer for changing the operating information and the reference value associated therewith to be shown by the display, and an adjustment connected to the computer and the memory for varying the reference values.

Display device for an engine-equipped machine

An engine-equipped apparatus including a control-display device which contains computing circuits into which is fed such data as the AC amperage data from an apparatus having an AC generator, and devices for displaying the data converted by these computing circuits. The control-display device is provided with a connection location capable of being freely connected to and disconnected from the main body of the apparatus through the use of a cable and multi-pin plug and socket. The cable is electrically located midway along those circuits of the wiring routes between the engine-equipped apparatus and the control-display device in which the signals are in an analog state, whereby, through the connection and disconnection as desired of a separate multi-core cable having at least one plug and socket of the same type between the aforementioned plug and socket, selection can be made between dcirect connection of the device to the engine-equipped apparatus and positioning of the display device in a location separated from the engine-equipped apparatus.
