    Lots of stuff!
    Running the house off the generator makes sense.

    Would you stick that 7000 in the truck bed and just leave it there for camping? It looks like you need a small crane to lift it! For the house, we were looking at the Generac Natural Gas units but they are large and put out ~15 to 20kw and a hard wired and plumbed into the house. Our power goes out several times a year but usually for less than a day. We can always use our trailer power if we need to in the event of a longer power failure.

    None at this point.
    I use my engine hoist to get it in the back of the truck so it's not an issue.
    It stays in the truck bed when we go camping.
    It kinda helps to muffle the sound even more.
    Yeah...we parked the camper in the driveway during the Hurricane blackout.
    Let the neighbors use it to get some shuteye during the day

    Oh...that was my old cheap generator now that I think about it.
    The 7000 is still sitting in the box in the garage.

    Everything Maxspeedingrods sells is junk. You can retro a bigger muffler onto it, you can make a fold up noise shield for it out of thin plywood to deflect the noice away from camp.

    That's interesting, we were talking about motorhome as possible next step but always wonder how to experience it before jumping into it.

    The Maxpeedingrod generator has inverter, I'm using it just to charge the lithium battery bank in the trailer, the inverter draws a minimum of 25amp when charging, so when I plug the trailer in, it's drawing about 2000w and it was just insanely loud, sounded like chainsaw at full throttle,

    I bought this on the cheap because we had power outage during an ice storm, but never used it at full power until this time, I think I'm going to find the right replacement instead of mocking with it, with partial load it's actually not bad. but yea, wouldn't recommend them lol.
