Can't really run much with a 1000watt
generator. You can a converter that big and run your diesel engine to
convert to 110 volt. You need way more to run your air conditioner but could run
a fan, coffee, computer, small appliances that don't add up to over 1000.
Might try looking at wrecking yards for generators
from motor homes.
Hi Dawn/folks: One of the reasons, that the smaller
generators are unavailable at this time is as a result of the Storm Katrina
that occurred. I was told as a fact from Home Depot that their entire stock
went to the storm areas and Lowes also don't have any either.
Thanks for the input and advice. :) I do not have a
microwave or a/c. I only want it to power a small toaster oven, maybe
a coffee maker, laptop, tv, stereo, charge my battery (one thing at a time
of course). 1000w should be adequate for my use. However, 2000
would do a/c if I get a bigger camper someday, but I can't lift
100lbs. There's no room in my two horse trailer, so I will have to
lift it up to the truck bed into the camper for travel.
In my dreams I've always wanted a quiet Honda or Onan, but they are
always priced at almost $900, even for only 1000watts...so that's why I was
confused as to the price on these. The fact that these need an
oil/fuel mixture explains to some extent. Name brand and
quality explains the rest?
