Being rural, there have been several times where we have lost power for hours at a time. Yesterday we lost power twice. Once for 2 hours, the next time, for nearly 7. And this is Texas where the temperature is 1 million degrees!
So I was wondering, because I know nothing about generators, what type of generator would be appropriate for a 5th wheel. Basically, I would like one that I could run the AC/heater from. Please let me know what you all think. Thanks!
FYI, There are many different shapes and styles a home generator comes in. Two main types: Portable generator & Standby generator.
Each type has its pros & cons.
Apparently, a portable generator is a great fit for a temporary house. This unit tends to be cheaper than its counterpart. They provide from about 3000 to 8,500 watts. Cost from from $400 to $1,000 (depend on power & optional functions).
Firstly, you need to know your power needs. Then, consider the feature of each model: Safety features, Control Panel Features & Ease of Use, Help & Support and Price (of course)
Below is a good resource which provides everything you need to know before making the final decision.
Good luck! :D
