Good thing he wasn't up here, he would be mistaken for a police vehicle, and issued a ticket for impersonating a cop car! The truck has the same colour pattern as Ontario Police vehicles.

(stronger blue is the clue). 8000 watt generator???? I used a Kill-a-Watt to measure the wattage of 1050 X-mas lights on my house, and it only consumed 51 watts! The LED Xmas strings are incredibly efficient. You can surely power all that off just the pickup truck's battery via a Canadian Tire Motomaster 75W power adaptor plugged into the cigarette lighter -- it uses less power than the vent fans.
