rental house. 6 to 8kW. Full power at 120Vac would be nice. In the past some
have recommended a Coleman off grid model as I remember. I'm also wondering

Thanks folks - it's apparent from the feedback that my post was not presented
in a clear way. I wasn't asking about how to proceed with the customer
