Converting Dual Generator to Run off RV Quick Disconnects
I will be attempting over the next week with my new Firman WH02942 to run it off of my travel trailers quick disconnects.
I will post pics whether it succeeds or fails. I can't see it not working.
I will be removing the actual regulator from the big blue "regulator" piece but I have to use it as it had an electrical lead that attaches to the generator and works like a throttle body from my understanding. From there I'll get a 10' hose on it and a quick connect to go to the rvs low pressure quick disconnects.
I don't think pressure will be an issue. But ya never know. On Propane my max is 2900W 2600W continous which should require a maximum of approximately 60 000BTUs out of the available roughly 200 000. Should be gtg. Furnace and AC don't run together usually.
What I won't do is run my 50 000btu fire pit at the same time as the generator off of the disconnects. I do believe the gen pulling max load with the furnace fridge and hw tank might be too much. I will test by turning on one more at a time until either it fails or everything miraculously works together. My plan is to switch to the onboard 1.8gal of gasoline while using my firepit if I need both simultaneously. Beauty of dual fuel machine.
Will post an update when complete.
