Well, FINALLY I have a decent project to test the generator.
(Long boring story) I have some land that has no electric, water, etc. I got a 24' camper trailer donated to me. It is old, but clean and does not leak. Pretty good shape actually. I go to this property some weekends but usually drive home at night, or the GF's house because of no electric, water, or shelter.
Well... now shelter will be there! So, my lister will be put to use. Not just a show piece. Since this is for running AC and water pump I will use an ST head. This should be more than adequit. This will also get me power up there to pump water, run some tools, etc.
I work on industrial equipemnt and a lot is battery powered. So, coming up with a few decent batteries will be a piece of cake. I can use the bat. as 12vdc to power the camper when ac is not on. (built in inverter in these things) Just a couple cheap solar chargers to maintain the batts. when I'm not there.
The AC plug is 30a 110v, so any 3kw head should be fine... I will probably get a bigger head as I will have room to grow.
What do you guys think?

Thanks

Sounds like how we started on our property. Except the RV was not free and didn't have an inverter. Our 'roid powered the whole house construction! Congrats!
