That's why the Kubota sits on a slab.
The Niehoff charges 400 amperes at dead slow idle. The Cummins has a 12" crank pulley. 400-amps at 28 volts is = to 800 amperes at 14 volts (va/watts). It charges the (4) 400/AH L-16's as fast as safely possible. Hee hee I MADE my own 24 volt toaster. Eight slice. Yep with a 5-minute windup intermatic timer. Want really dark toast - 5 minutes, all the way down to tan toast 1-1/2 minutes. I have a special 4" burner that roars like a jet. It will heat to boiling 2 liters of water in a few seconds under 2-minutes. For heating water, regular stoves, house, or RV are a joke, a stupid LPG Coleman camp stove burner puts out twice the heat. While people re standing around waiting for the generator or inverter to process an electric drip coffeemaker, I am halfway through m French Press (Walmart "Bubba" 20 oz first cup. I am working up a design using 14 gage nichrome to make a grille. The secret is to heavily insulate the appliance and barely keep the meat out of splatter range of the burner. This is a future project. With the monster adobe oven out back, I cake bake six San Francisco sourdough loafs or an equal number of rye for freezing. Then I roast coffee. Hah! I use the infrared pyrometer to throttle temperature, and attain perfection of the 2nd crack.
Wilderness camping does not mean eating Spam and slurping Kool Aid. The grandkids have to help with the lifting and mixing. Shoot I even bake my own croissants, now. They freeze very well.
