*You hit the nail on the head for me.
Your write up is more than adequate for me to move forward with confidence....I just could not locate it during my many hours of searching. Another great job comment goes to you. Thank You so much!
Now I just need to re-evaluate carefully what exactly I need for power
on our MH and begin finishing buying components.
(thinking out loud)
There is no shore power where we will be staying with the MH for 4-5 days at a time.
-Plasma 42" tv(300watts)
-kids xbox video game(100watts)
-wifes hair dryer(1500 watts)
-wifes flat iron(140watts)
-small coffee pot(?? watts)
-currently No a/c(but might add/customize something small originally deigned for home use...I saw your write up and my wheels in my mind are spinning)
-very small microwave(xxx watts)
-already have boughten a 2000watt pure sine wave dc-ac converter to use off of a 3-4 group 27 battery bank that I will fabricating.(Go Power GP-SW2000 converter)
*need to figure out what is the best charger to quickly charge the battery bank off the selected generator that I will be converting to LP.(this is where I am not afraid to spend $$)
*The original Triad-Utrad a/c-d/c converter is a TU-440-2 which I cannot find any info on, but I assume it is similiar to a TU-540-2(which is a 40 amp converter).
*The original generator cabinet dimensions I have to work with are only 29 1/2" wide x 17" tall x 13 1/2" deep.
-As for the original appliances(the propane stove/range, the Trav'ler a/c-propane fridge, and the propane suburban NT30a furnace and hot water heater)...all work beautifully as they should.
^^^Maybe you might browse over this info and offer a suggestion on a generator size, knowing these things I have stated. We stay in New York State, and there isn't really a need for a/c, we can get away with a box fan...
