Jay, I’ve had really good luck with the Cummins RS22. In fact it’s the only

They do have a battery charger that requires a 120V circuit, and it does draw
more than one would like. I run a circuit over and install a tiny battery
tender rather than use the factory charger. With a good starter battery and a
weekly exercise cycle of thirty minutes, I have found that my indo
If it's going in a cold climate, the Cummins RS generators absolutely require a
coolant heater which is a significant AC load. Otherwise, they don't require
any AC power but they do need their battery to remain charged. For this reason,
they do come with an integrated charger, but if you have a

locations with consistent low’s below 15F require the coolant heater. All but

Hi all.
This unit will be in a warm climate so no problems there.
Are you all saying the build in AC/shore power charger is extremely
inefficient?

Can we have this conversation in this group? I would really like to hear
what everyone has to say.

I don’t recall what the exact load was, but it was enough that I decided I
could do better. I also implement Kienan’s strategy and use PV for battery
tending.

It stands to reason. Solar City has had kiosks and salespeople in the Oregon
stores for years and years.

Ray,
That's not going to work for the Cummins RS water-cooled generators without
some hacking. The water cooled models do use an antifreeze mixture so they can
withstand temperatures down to -50°F without a heater, but they have a circuit
that prevents the generator from even trying to start if
