250 hours, that is 12 days full time, About a month as we use generators. You have recovered your kilobuck
And what's more.. You never ran out of gas  |
Have you ever considered turning the big genset off?
I have the Onan 6.5 KW and rarely use it.
I have in the past used a very cheap to run EU-2000i. At
idle it would produce enough voltage and current to run a 25 amp AC powered charger to resupply my batteries.
I got rid of the genset with the last RV but I will have another before we go full time as we do boondock it at times.
