Just a small update: Put the AP 2k inv back together last night after cleaning up the valdez slick.
My prior ETQ tests were in the open in the back yard, with gen sitting on grass. with a low of 58db. Last night with the ETQ on concrete and snowbanks around the driveway, I saw 63-64db. The AllPower was 67-68db under the same conditions and same side (panel opis of exh) I was still hearing a loud plastic rattle, seems to be coming from fuel filler neck to case junction. I was out in the cold alone so didn't have anyone to stop the rattle while I steped away and read the db meter.
If I have some time this weekend I'll try some more tests, maybe with bigger load, and also check the output with the kill-a-watt and on the o-scope.

**Mine arrived in similiar fashion...oil soaked interior of the box and "almost" emptied of oil. Must be the labels all over the box stating ^This SideUp^ don't mean much to FedEx.
I added oil, and gas...pulled it a dozen or so times and it fired up nicely. It does have a rattle or two to it..mostly the hard wheels(notice this was on the concrete in my garage).
-I am very pleased with the noise level. Very very acceptable to me.
***My plans are to remove it from the portable plastic housing it came in and hard mount it into my generator compartment on my 1977 Dodge Apache 23ft MH.
****I do not currently have a working clamp to test its output...if you get some time, that information would be very valueable to me, as it is going to determine the size PD charger I am going to order.
-I know the owners manual states a continous ability of 1600 watts, but I have no idea if its split between the two outlets, if it can all be pulled on 1 outlet, or even if the rating is accurate.
^^^I know I plan to this as a dedicated power source for only charging batteries, or when not doing that....to operate a microwave. And, from everything I have read...this is going to work perfect for me, if it can sustain 1600 watts.
