Sounds more like the advertising blurb from an APU manufacturer. Who idles 10hrs a night, 5 nights a week, 52 weeks a year? There are LOTS of nights where I dont even run my generator. above 40, below 70, everything is off. Those numbers are so biased and unreal it isn't funny. Like I said, sounds more like advertising bs from an APU manufacturer.
Is idling bad? for sure, no doubting that. But lets keep the numbers realistic.

I figure it would take me closer to 4 years to pay for an apu, I use an espar in the winter therefore my idle time isn't all that much, it sucks when I do idle but so would writing that $10,000 check and waiting 4 years to break even

Now both inverters will be pure sine wave that is more expensive but a much better inverter that is worth more money. -
7 AGM deep cycle batteries is enough to handle the 8,000 btu AC start up surge that the running wattage is 690 watts with the surge maybe 3 times that at around 2100 and even if it is 5 times that at 3500 watts my 2000 watt inverter can handle a 4000 watt surge.bergy Thanks this. -
I already have a bigger 185 amp alternator for this. -
