My garage is uninsulated, with a poured floor and two leaky garage doors... January/February sucks if I need to be out there any longer than an hour working on something.

That could work. I might just do what I said, and simply change the cable termination on my load bank to a locking plug and be done with it, as I've already invested in the elements and fan, and I know it works. This way I can still use it in the garage, but instead of being ceiling mounted it...

A few folks here have put load banks together (I was one). Its nice... but I might change how I do things, and wire up a separate locking power inlet, wired up to a variable electric heater for my garage. That way I can load test my generators AND stay warm(er) when wrenching in the winter!

I hadn't read the fine print on their tech document on the LPW4, but everything you said is correct. Kind of silly... but I suppose all manufacturers dabble in the grey area of "marketing facts".

I know the engine will handle it, as its rated for higher from Lister from the factory... but yeah, no need to whip a horse just because you can. I test to about 13.5kw and if it pulls, shes good. http://www.lister-petter.com/p/power-water-solutions/4/lp-range/1/engines/16/lpw4
