What is the difference between the ELM3000 and the ELM3000L?
I just received my ELM3000L a few days ago. The ELM3000 doesn’t have the low oil shut down or 12v plug like the ELM3000L. It was just a few bucks more. Shipping for me was $62.00. I got it directly from Elm’s web site. They had one with wheels and handle that I had ordered at first but they phoned me telling me they were back ordered, I ordered the 3000L so I wouldn’t have to wait. People on ebay are selling pretty much the same gen set as the ELM3000 & 3000L but at very high shipping cost and at a higher price. Do some shopping it can save you money. The ELM3000L came “VERY” well packaged. And got here very fast.
I ran it with my A/C and ref, it’ll run also with the MW but bogs down. I put the ref on gas and it works fine. It’s no where near as loud as my B/S generator, it’s fairly quit for the money I spent (65 db).
I was going to mount it on back of my TT like I had with my old TT, but I’m just going to put it in the bed of my truck and run a power line to the front of the trailer. I had an SUV before so it had to go on the back of the trailer.
My truck also has a rolling bed cover so if it fits closed I’ll leave the tailgate open for air and that should knock some of the noise down, even if I can’t close the top it should help. I plan to add wheels to it also.
