I figured I better start a new topic on this subject so we don't keep derailing other ones. Maybe BP can drag the other posts into here sometime.
The generator in the motorhome is a 5500 watt and last year we found that it just couldn't take the load of running the AC unit in the motorhome and power the trailer also, so I have this 4000 watt portable generator sitting in the garage collecting dust. The nitrous filling station I put in the trailer this season requires an air compressor, not to mention the 1500 watt bottle heater I picked up. I tried it this past weekend and even with a 6' extention cord the compressor wouldn't kick over till I let a bunch od air out.
