    Choosing a Generator

    That is a possibility. However even the RLA comes out to 3,500 and as you can see it’s only using 2,671. I’m of the opinion (I’m not an electrician) that we are not seeing LRA loads on startup. If that was the case even an 803 would choke on that IMOP.

    All that being said right our temps have been in the 100's with overnight lows around 80 deg. So I'm running these AC's significantly more than usual. During the day I maintain 78 deg upstairs and 74 down. Even with that, yesterday my upstairs unit ran over 6 hours straight just trying to...

    As luck would have it last night my 3ton and 2ton unit started simultaneously! I could hear it when they lit off as the units are not too far from my master bedroom. Pic attached showing start load. Note, on all these screen shots the moment showing the wattage is on the far right hand "grey"...

    Below I’ll attach some screenshots of my monitor showing my starting load and running load of my downstairs 3ton unit. As you can see there is a variation in the starting load. The last shot shows the running load for that unit.

    I'm happy I came across this thread! I'm in Houston as well and have the same questions and concerns as Ham & Eggs. I keep going back and forth between a Honda EU7000 and either a MEP-802 or 803. I have home electrical monitoring as well, not as extensive as Ham & Eggs LOL but it keeps me...

    Love em or not, here’s my MEP-1040 thread.

    Looking good! I have a question that I can’t seem to find an answer to online. How wide is the unit with the side doors open? Or how wide is the side door(s) by itself? I’m trying to calculate slab and clearance dimms.

    How did the pickup in GA go? Pretty simple process? I was watching that auction as well, congratulations on the unit!

    Any interest in a Houston-Galveston Area Rally?

    Is that the one at the Home Depot Parking lot? I might cruise by in the Pinzgauer....

    So this just happened...

    Yellow Nylon? You sure it wasn't polypropylene ? It's going to take some serious rope to break that suction. I would also recommend going much slower to reduce the shock load.

    can a f250 pull a stuck m35 deuce and a half out?

    Snatch straps are your friend. I've recovered some obscene "stucks" with my little Jeep and a 20K snatch.

    Any interest in a Houston-Galveston Area Rally?

    That's exactly what I had in mind. Not sure if I'm going to be able to swing it though. If I did it would be Saturday afternoon.
