Bolt on 2" receiver - Event Date: 18 Feb 2017

Recall all that Dahunter has a Highlander SUV tow vehicle. So, no running the Genny sitting on a tailgate, and weight is a real issue, as are gasoline fumes. Hence the recommendation for a smaller lighter propane generator.

Regardless of the brand a small under 3kw-ish generator won't run both the a/c and micro at the same time (not a big deal, just turn the a/c off for a few minutes while running the micro) but also might not start the a/c on a hot day (a big deal). It's the second or third start in a hot day that taxes the generator the most because the a/c compressor builds up back pressure when it runs and has the highest pressure differential to overcome when it's hot.

So you can always try it without the Easystart and then add it if the Genny labors too much starting the a/c. Just don't do that kind of laboring start too many times, it's not good for either one.

It's not a difficult DIY project to install the Easystart, takes maybe an hour at most. The install instructions are good, the Easystart folks are nice and helpful if you have questions. You can lay a piece of plywood on the roof to spread the load, set the stabilizing jacks, and you don't need to stand up on top to do it. If that doesn't appeal then you dont really need an RV shop to install it, pretty much anyone who can turn a screwdriver and connect a couple of wires up can do it.
