Onan microlite 4000 1998 ford Shasta class C. It will only be used during the driving portion of the trip, which were going to be doing 800+ miles a day around 12-13 hrs of driving (we're young early twenties) yes I know that sounds ridiculous to some of you but it is what it is we can do it, it's just siting on your butt all day..... Anyways the gen will be powering a tv, Xbox, and refrigerator all day. Is that bad for it?
We make an 800 mile journey 4 to 8 times a year, half of those trips in the Motorhome the other in the car. When we travel in the summer, we are usually running the generator the entire time to run the A/C.
Interesting solution the previous owner had. I would think turning off the Propane supply would have been an easier choice than cutting and capping the supply line. We lost power for 5 days this past summer while camping. With the frig running on propane, we only ran the generator a few hours a day to charge the battery. Without propane to the frig, we would have had to run it for days on end.
