is it feasable to use a propane home standby generac 12kw fully enclosed air cooled 28 hp that h.d. sells for $2,600 in a big ole bus? |

Sure , It will work OK for 100 hours , then its time for another. Generack has a very poor rep , (I'm being unusually polite)for reliability or service. Not even sure it will run for 100 hours , There are much easier ways to get a gen set than spending endless cash on trash. FAST FRED |

WOW FF You’re the man, not only are you polite today but a poet as well (cash for trash). I agree with you and I bet the noise would be.... lets just say awful. Michael |

There are cooling issues for gen sets that are not designed to run in rv s . id take a good look at what you have , there are also safety issues involved. this is not a good place to try to save money, i did and it ended up costing more in the end. Frank Allen 4106 |

I picked up 3 5000w Genwrecks for NOTHING, I gave 2 of them to my neighbor who owns a rent-all store in trade for making the one I kept, "new again". I have less than 6 hrs use on it now. I planned on keeping it as a "back-up" unit until I realized that it takes up more storage space in the shop than its worth. I can't bring myself to give it away out of good conscience. No one will/would buy it anyway. I can't get my money out of it and I have nothing in it.....THIS is unique JUNK !! I am thinking about abandoning it on the street corner in Washington DC, knowing someone in "gubberment" will snag it and think they have found a pearl. My sort of tit for tat. |

Put it on that taboo place...eeeeeebayyyyyyy Describe it honestly and accurately and someone will probably give you $400 for it. That's exactly what I did with mine and the buyer was very happy with his purchase. Not everyone thinks Jenny-wrecks are as bad as we all know they are!!! Cheers Gary |

Here is what you do: 1) Drain all the oil 2) Remove air filter 3) Gas it up 4) Remove the breakers 5) Solder a copper pipe across the output terminals 6) Stick a potato in muffler 7) Buy six pack of beer 8) Invite neighbors 9) Start engine 10) Enjoy the show! Just kidding of course. KDNTTAH (Kids, Do Not Try This At Home!) Scott P.S. Seriously, though. If it runs and works, it is worth something to someone. |
