[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 207070, member: 211"] I'm going to disagree with you on this. While your average power draw is much less, when using shore power, you do have the ability to draw quick short peaks of power. If your generator is only sized to handle your average power draw, it does not have any reserve available for those peaks. Sizing a generator based on the full power rating of your amps, plus 20% is a good starting point for properly sizing the generator that you should be using. Yes, you can get by with something smaller, but when you do, you're also limiting the capabilities of your system. [/QUOTE]
