he already has a 6500 LP generator
A 6500 LP generator is identical to a 7000 gasoline generator. The reduced energy in LP vs gasoline caused a de-rating to 6500 for the same unit. My unit says 7000 on the outside, but due to my changing it to LP it is now a 6500 unit.
All of that means that he would be wired for 7000 watts even though he has a unit rated at 6500. His upgrading to 8000 max output would be only a 14% increase in MAX available current. I have never used the maximum output of my generator.
