    No. Wait. Get a Sawzall and cut in a home unit in the back. You'll need to get a generator too. Just use a bunch of roof mastic to seal the opening.

    Neither. I just checked the oil yesterday and it's in the middle of the range after around 700 hrs. I have noticed a slight belt chirp when starting the a/c first thing. PM is due in about a month, so it will get adjusted then.
     
    mhyn Thanks this.

    That unit looks pretty good, definitely doesn't look like 20k hours. Keep in mind the engine hours are stored in the controller board. If that came off another unit, as-in the package was put together with components from different units, the hours may not be right.

    On that one, the plastic fuel lines can be problematic so keep an eye on them, and be careful working around them. I also see it has the fuse link kit already, so the 50A maxi fuse has already been swapped out to not fail.

    The back of the cab at the top. Insert an AC that you'd put in the window at the house.
