Wow Loud Genset

Fired up the genset on my recently acquired 2000 Itasca to check out the LED 32" TV I installed and WOW, is it ever loud. So loud that I had to turn up the TV volume in order to hear it. It's not the muffler but rather the motor running. Fortunately I have a 2000 Genset that's whisper quiet I can bring when camping.

    This might be constructive...

    Sell the genset right where it sits via Craigslist. There are a lot of off-grid homes and I have never heard of one wishing a 2000 watt generator.

    By leaving it installed, a buyer can proof it. Then you can finished out the compartment and use it for storage. Or an energy project.

    x2, we never use our generator for TV, only the inverter. Wish I'd done that 10 years ago!
