Nice. I used to have a portable generator bolted down behind the sleeper. Biggest mistake I made was not having a cover on it. Road debris took its toll on it. Other than that it was a great addition.

I like the setup. LIFAN makes an inverter generator similar which has remote start and electronic fuel injected so you can start it with a key fob from inside the sleeper and no choke is needed!!!!!

Just a word of advice Might want to consider get one that’s much much bigger, if it’s oversized it will not be 75%-90% of its capabilities when running for 10-12 hours! Grab one of the bigger champions maybe even consider Yamaha or Honda!

Don’t forget about the generator safety tips as well. Always make sure you follow all the generator safety rules whenever you use your generator. Remember that portable generators can be dangerous if not used carefully. Here are the generator safety tips: This is just a safety reminder 1) Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3) 🔥generators cause fire hazards too. Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. 4) generator operation; make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5eah5Zys6uypn0.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators and also about our family’s safety. Hope this helps

I used the 2000watt one from there but it would trip the breaker without anything plugged into it. I use the 2000watt champion because of the run time. 11.5 hours on 1 gallon at 50 percent load. The bigger ones seem to use a lot more fuel. I'm glad its working out for you though.

@NomadTrucker
@NomadTrucker 3 жыл бұрын
The only place I've been able to get gas at the fuel island is on the Ohio turn pike. Basically you have to go back and forth with a gas can. Don't go any bigger then 5 gallons because then you have to declare it for hazmat. Just get a 2 gallon and that should last all night depending on what generator set up you are using.

It will run for about 17 hours on 2 gallons of gas with the a/c on high. The gen will run the block heater but only by itself. The block heater is around 1500 watts. When I don't use the block heater I can use a space heater that is also 1500 watts. I have an update video with the new set up on it. Go check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6egebRn3ci6eZ8.html

When the ac is running at max, the generator will run on the factory 1.1 gallon tank for about 7 hours. The gravity fed tank will drain a second 1.1 gallon of gas into the factory tank keeping the gen running for about 14 to 16 hours. It will run a lot longer if I don't have to run the ac on max all night.

Just under the sleeper to a hole I drilled in the floor. I sealed it up with silicone. The heater is a 1500 watt honeywell space heater.

@@MrCLASSICLeonS Here are the generator safety tips: This is just a safety reminder 1) Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards. 2) Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house. 3) 🔥generators cause fire hazards too. Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules. 4) generator operation; make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5eah5Zys6uypn0.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators and also about our family’s safety. It’s always important to follow all the generator safety rules whenever you use your generator. Hope this helps
