Inverter Generator
I’m looking at a Firman WH02942 dual fuel inverter 3200/2900 watt generator for use with a 50 amp 5er. I’m looking for just enough power to run 1 ac and some lights, yet be light enough to easily move...

Hi Jeffinho,
8.8 hours for a 20 lb tank assuming 2500 watts of output from the generator.

Hi pianotuna, thanks for your reply. I do know that propane will lead to slightly lower running and starting watts.
Was more interested to know what kind of runtime to expect for that Firman generator on a 20lbs tanks (assuming a 50% load or something)
I personally finally decided not to go for a Firman generator, as even these guys here https://generatorbible.com/generators/firman/wh02942/ (who seem to have some pretty good stats and specs on portable generators) openly admit that they have no clue of what the runtime on propane is.
I don't understand why a manufacturer wouldn't publish such values, and do find such practice suspicious and somewhat untrustworthy. I decided to go for a Champion generator instead.
