It seems to have been a long time since this topic was discussed and a fair bit of technological advancement has happened since then - anyone got anything new to add.
Has anyone seen the AirMov Power 400 or know anything first hand about it?

Just looked them up www.sawtechnology.com/Power400S.html Seems to be better suited to a static location rather than caravan/s, it would be difficult to put up 8 metre pole with panel and turbine attached. Great for off grid cabin in the bush with the dual combination of Solar and Wind to charge battery systems. Could be a problem with Canadian manufacture though for service and parts.
On another note; are you ex US Army Airborne? Can't understand this penchant for jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes.

Maybe flying true the air is a lot safer than staying in the plane

Cheers Guru, looks like the AirMov Power 400 is now out of production. If the reply to my inquiry is any indication of their business acumen then best steer clear of SAW Technology.
Australian Army, but have also served with the US, Canadian, British and Thai airborne forces. I owned a 'jump' plane for 14 years - nobody ever referred to it as being 'perfectly good'. They were more than happy to forego the added risk of landing in it.

ex yachtie.
we used 'em a lot at sea, fine with constant wind. but you need a bloody lot of it.
I have one in shed. $ 16/1800 new.
waste of time on vans believe me.
Lots, including meeself, have tried over the years.
Untill technology on them changes a LOT, then some.
