Marv,
Thanks for the great info.
I suppose our other question is, can we get by with a 2000W unit, knowing we'll never be able to run the AC with it, or do we go bigger like a 3000W unit knowing we spent more $ on it, and realizing it's much heavier and more difficult to move around.
I suppose one of my concerns with these small units is the potential for theft. Something small, brightly coloured, and with a handle on the top sitting out there in the open might be too tempting for the wrong type of person. Do most people lock these up somehow? You mention bolting to truck as an option, any idea how this would be done?
