He was suggesting using a 120VAC powered motor that you could plug in while
camped where facilities provide such power.

Provided your math is correct, I'll add my own crude factor to make the change
to 120VAC.  Dividing by 10 yields 15-38 amps.  I'd guess that the 2-3hp guess
might be closer that 5hp and require something like 15-22 amps.
