New owner - Genny questions??????
Signed for the new Sunset Trail 32 yesterday.....Genny time! All the regular electronics and a 13.5 A/C. Nothing extraordinary. Here's my dilemna. Do I parallel two 2Kw's or buy a 3Kw? Is 3Kw enough? ...

Ok, I will give you arguments both ways
3KW One box. Simpler hookup
pare of 2KW's. One a Companion one regular
Well, Odds are you will use one more than the other.. Thus odds are one will wear out faster.. And the other... Will be your "Spare" when that happens leaving you with half power. but half is better than nothing, epically in the cooler seasons.
Also you have 30% more total power when you need it.
Suggestion:
ON your house put a proper generator transfer switch and inlet.. You can likely use no more than 3.000 to 4,000 watts in the winter to keep food cold, house warm and lit and a bit of television so you can watch the news coverage about the power outage. I think I used 3,400 watts on my house (1700 twice) NOTE, these generators will not run an electric range or dryer.. But they will run the fridge, Freezer and Furnace if you have enough power.
