This thread is too long to sift through. I read up to page 55 then got tired. I recently bought a 2005 Gearbox toy hauler and the seller threw the portable generator with the deal. It's the Nikota 3500w. He said he ran everything just fine but not the micro and a/c at the same time. We ran it off and powered up the a/c and I also verified all other electrical goodies except microwave. On page 4 professor is quoted saying this "IMHO, DO NOT consider the 3,500 watt NIKOTA generator Pep-Boys sells for $299.00. It will only handle 1,200 watts on an individual circuit, which is not enough to sustain an RV air conditioner."
My qusetion is how did this generator power everything up off the single 110 outlet? If this is wrong in doing so what should I look for? Meaning- is there any warning signs that this generator is actually hurting things. I really don't want to buy another generator any time soon.
I also remember seeing a post from somebody on page 44? saying they and two other family members bought the Nikota and had no problems.
Basically, Am I screwed?
Thanks
