1984 Newell 12.5 Kohler replacement
#8

I called Jim Martin today and he was very helpful. What I learned from him is that I can test my bus with all electric at full consumption to see the energy demand. This is great and bad for me. The Mitsubishi ductless units we are upgrading to claim a soft start draw of 5 Amps and 8 Amps peak, which if all three units kick on for max demand I am at about 24 Amps. So I am still unconvinced I need more than an 8k generator. I was convinced I only needed a 6k generator but i recognize I have a lot less knowledge then some of you. All this said I feel a test of the the max energy consumption is great for me to be confident in my purchase. But the bad is Jim said I need to test it off the generator not the shore power and my generator isn’t making power. Now I feel I need to have my generator repaired to test the power consumption but at the point of putting that much money into the one I have I probably will end up keeping it.
