Maybe so, but I would think the lithium upgrade and the advantage it brings would offset not having a genset for most users, who only stay a night or two boon-docking. In any event, I'm buying the...

The only problem I see with that is that whenever I needed it, it never would start! The way we RV, it never got used, so for us, it's not something we would ever need, even in an emergency. For...

The way we use or RV, we just rarely have the need for the genset. It's just dead weight of about 200lbs of very rare extra cargo carrying capacity in these small rigs.



My new rig will be a...

Needless to say, from experience with a stock capacitor, the genset couldn't handle it. With the Easystart, it could. That's proof enough for me it's worth $300.00.


As for the conclusion on this...

Mike,

I don't mean to argue with you, but the Penguin II's usual amp usage about 14-15 amps, not 18-19. And the SoftStart is not the same as a $9 capacitor as it is microprocesser controlled and...

I installed a 15,000 btu Penguin II high efficiency unit and the Easystart kit. All I can say it that the 20 amp genset had no trouble starting the unit, and keeping it going, even on the hottest...

Have you actually any experience with compressor based fridges? I have had both and I'll never go back to a 3-way. The smaller Novacool only uses 2.2 amps and that's only when it runs. This simply is...

But what I...

Not sure it would work. It depends on how much energy you will need.

For eight hours, even 200amps would likely be enough if you don't want to use the AC.


You could use a diesel based...

Excellent idea. I have had two Class B's over the last 12 years. Both have had the Onan Microlite 2500 gensets that runs on LP. The next RV I get (thinking of a Class C) won't have it. I plan on...
