[TheForge] emergency generator

[Darrell]

One thing that I learned from my motor home is that if you can get a
generator that runs at 1800 rpm it is a lot quieter than the 3600 rpm sets.
The Honda 5KW that came with the motor home would drive you out with the
noise. The 1800rpm Onan that I replaced it with is barely noticeable.
5Kw would run your pump and freezer and fridge no problem.
