Converters and generators
I have a WFCO Ultra III (WF-8955) converter that requires 950W of input. I'm surprised it takes that much power to run, but maybe I'm missing something. Apparantly a 1000W generator won't provide en...

use the bigger generator
fuel usage is consummate with the amount of power created
a 900w running at say 750 uses almost identical gas , as the 2000w running a 750 watt load, you would be surprised how little the difference is
i would use the 2000 with the 55amp converter for shorter running times, instead of the 1000 with a 30amp converter and more hours of run/charge time

Apparantly a 1000W generator won't provide enough power, which makes sense, because they're rated 900W. I have a Yamaha 2000W generator, but I like the idea of using a 1000W generator, because they're nearly 20 pounds lighter, less DBA and run longer on a tank.
I understand the converter can be switched out for one that requires less power. What's your recommendation, and what would you expect to pay someone to switch it out? What's the downside of a smaller converter?
I'm a DIY type, but when it comes to power I run the other way.
Thank you.
