UPDATE: Completed the replacement of the 32 year old Generac NP52G (5200kw) with a new Champion Dual Fuel 2500w Inverter Generator. This was a drop in engine size from 479cc to 79cc. The little Champion, with Ecomode activated, pushes +/- 1450 watts to the Victron Multiplus Compact 2000w...

Hi Fellas; I was pretty sure that I was on the right track with this and I really appreciate you guys confirming what I suspected. Based on your input, last night I went ahead and ordered a Champion dual fuel 2500w inverter/generator from Home Depot. I will pull that 32 year old Generac out...

Right on. It's reassuring to get "internet confirmation" before embarking on stupid human tricks. I took a look at your profile and am I to believe that a Prevost is your first "rv" ??? Holy Smoke. Our little 1991 28' Safari Trek was build on an NPR Turbo Diesel chassis. My 2024 goal is to...

Dear Solar Experts; I have a 32 year old Generac NP52 (5200 watt) propane powered generator in my 32 year old Isuzu powered Safari Trek. I suspect that I no longer need such a large generator and would like to replace it with a small propane powered inverter generator. The specs on the 12...
