Self Banned after losing a Noles bet.
Ran a 8kw Firman on and off for 4 days..set up temp. Backfed into a 60amp breaker with the main off. Not an ideal setup, but for the first time we've needed it in over a year...works for me. Ran a 4000 on the rv which ran 14 hrs on a tank full. Keep in mind, on propane (dual fuels) you'll lose 15%+ or so of rated power. For us, a whole house is not economically beneficial. We're bugging in the rv and can live in it on return.
Oh...the 8kw is good for 8hrs on gas/tankful and 5 I think on a 20lb propane cyl. We'll probably go get 2 of the 40's from Tractor supply just to have for the future.

Just make sure you absolutely know how to prevent feedback.

This is my wife's 1st cousin who lives in Virginia. We see him at Thanksgiving every year. He was up a pole, already checked for live wires, then a neighbors generator kicked in:

I grew up about 50 miles from there, went to college there too....

Generac is what I have. Happy with it. Like said before, run it every month or so and cut the fuel shut-off valve to shut it down for storage. Helps clear gas from carb that way.
