Enclosed inverter style vs open frame generator.
We live in Florida and during the summer when it's hot out and we sleep we have to run a generator continuously. Are generator when using a laser thermometer is gotten up to 110 degrees I think 120 was the max. we're looking at getting a new generator and I'm worried about getting Honda 3000is. But I know he kills you're available amps and can pop breakers quicker then you add on Florida heat with continuous I'm running maybe 75% of the day from dinner to a late breakfast and I'm worried that it will overheat. I had a Yamaha 2000w inverter that was enclosed and the I believe electronics went bad within 3 nights I think due to heat. It runs and works now but can only do about 800 watts Max now like something went bad. It was not running our RV this was 2 years ago. So I'm worried about buying an enclosed generator versus having an open frame generator and blowing a fan across it.
Honda has a commercial engine 4000w open frame for 1500 at Home Depot or a quiet enclosed for 3000w for $2,000.
This is used for our RV on a property with no neighbors for a mile away and would not be able to hear the generator. I also put it behind a 3 sided cinder block wall that I built so noises minimal near our RV with a Costco Firman Genny open frame 4000 watts. It died so I'm looking at going diesel, Honda, or Champion u til some is done. Then the solar will have a auto start generator module if the batteries go to low.
