I posted earlier this year that I was considering adding a small generator to Esmeralde. Well, I have the airconditioner installed and I moved the humongous water heater off the boat and installed a smaller IsoTemp unit so now it is time to begin the generator installation.
This will be a fairly involved installation and it will certainly chew up some time...
The generator is a 35 hour, "refurbished" unit that comes with a factory warranty for the next 12 months. It was a little more than half the price of the new model (a slightly larger redesign that will not fit!).
I decided to set it up and run it under a load before I went through the steps of installation for the obvious reasons...
The video makes the generator sound loud. It is in fact very quiet. I am surprised at how quiet it actually is!
I loaded it up with the air conditioning, electric heat strip and battery charger on our Airstream and it handled everything with ease.
I will run it for another 3 or 4 hours before it goes in but so far so good!
Now to just get it in!
