Back to generators, even with the 15k air running, a 4k generator is still at less than half load. The engine is not working that hard.
I do gather from these posts that it may be worth installing an ATS if for no other reason than to have the 30 second delay on generator start up.
I also like the idea of wiring an A/C on-off switch at the drivers seat, though I'm not sure how I'd do that. The thermostat is way back in the bedroom.
For those that shut off loads before starting/stopping the generator, are you turning off the converter too? At 60a that's not an insignificant load when the batteries need charging.
