Common myths?
I have 649w of solar on the roof
675 amp hr AGM battery bank, 5 batteries that weight 102# each and a 70 amp progressive dynamics converter
A residential 120vac compressor fridge
And I run the generator almost everyday, at least in the morning during breakfast
Any way to answer the op, you have an big generator, a little one will reduce fuel use
But so will a battery bank of two or three batteries and a 300watt inverter
Use the inverter at night for TV etc..
Use the generator during the day to charge the batteries with the RV converter, for coffee , meals etc.. Where high wattage 120v is needed
