NOISEY GENERATOR
I have a 2004 four winds 28a class c with a generac quietpac 40g generator, how can I quiet it down
Forum Discussion
Just as some clarification comments:
1. Our built-in Onan RV generator changes loudness level with the instantaneous amperage load on it - even though it's running at a constant 3600 RPM. i.e. It's not as loud when running the microwave or electric heater as it is when running the air conditioner. BTW, wlhenever the inverter generators are called upon to deliver their full loads - they spin at above 4000 RPM ... which indeed makes them "loud" then.
2. Our built-in 4000 watt built-in RV generator only consumes about 0.4 gallons per hour when delivering it's full load. As comparison, our 4400 watt stick house emergency generator averages at least 12 hours runtime on 5 gallons of regular E10 gas.
3. However as full discloser, for long battery charging runs when RV drycamping we carry along one of the quietest portable suitcase generators ever offered ... and it runs at a constant 3600 RPM up to it's maximum power output level at a constant hum level of only 54 dBA. That little genny is the long discontinued (but still available used) Honda EX650.
