Few showers this arvo , will check gauge in the morning.
Interesting watching it on the radar as the 2 fronts collide.


Weary I run a Honda 2kva and it will run 2 fridges and 2 deep freezers all at the same time.
Just don't plug them all in at once.
I don't run the genny if it's only a short blackout, but if it's going to be more that 6 hours.

When we have had long outages I will run the genny for 8 hours, then give it 4 to 6 off.
Start the genny and add 1 load about every 10 mins till I have it all on.

One camping trip we had 8 engles running off a 2kva Honda. Had it hooked to boat tanks so it ran about
18 hours straight, then change the oil and away it went again, did that for 6 days not a worry.

As with any small engine oil is cheap , change it very regularly..


Cheers
