Maineah Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There is a reason motorhome generators take fuel from the vehicle tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen auxillary gas tanks for generators on some RV's, not common. Holiday Rambler and I think Lesharo are 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjrbus Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I did not read this whole post. Experimenting with mine I found that separating the exhaust from the warmed cooling air raised the temperature of the generator. I do not recall how much as it was some time ago, but enough to cause concern and I scrapped the idea. Does not make any sense but that is what happened. I have about 40 pictures of the temp gauge when experimenting but no idea which is which?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I think the only thing that burns better than an RV is a boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nam Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 As I had a need to tow a small boat so no space for the Honda in the rear bumper; I ended with upgrading the alternator, beef up the cables (#2/0), 8000W inverter...and run the AC thru the inverter; it works when needed. Looking to build new litihium ion batteries but ran out of time for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBeery Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I use the same Honda but just carry it loose right behind the driver. I make sure the gas tank vent is closed. When I stop I put the Honda on the ground 15-20 feet away and hook up. If it rains I put a folding chair on each side of it and put a small tarp over. That way there is lots of room for air to move. Biggest concern is possible theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
