    If you're a moron like this, and you park next to me running a gas generator, I WILL BEAT IT WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER!!!!! And you'll be lucky not to get some of the same.

    Freakin Diesel APU's are bad enough. For $##$#'s sake... reminds me of Volvo's bright idea to put weed burner exhaust on big trucks back in the early 90's.

    ####, that looks OSHA approved to me. At least the gas can isn't sitting on top of the genset. And Gears get some Baby Moons for your new toy.:biggrin_2559:

    Those Honda's are quiet. Not like some Brigg's POS.

    It's not the noise that concerns me, it's the carbon monoxide that hangs in the air on a still night. I usually prefer not to wake up dead.

    Understandable. However, the waking up part wouldn't be much of a concern. :biggrin_25523:

    Well I run a gas gen and it is quieter than a APU and I would say puts out less carbon monoxide than your idling truck :biggrin_25522: Don't bring a sledge hammer to a gun fight if you see me cause you wouldn't like the out come :biggrin_25524:

    That's what I did and the #### Yamaha gen took a shait in less than a year, so I went to Harbor freight and bought a 3500 watt gen with 2 year replacement warranty for less than $250 with coupon :biggrin_25522: so far over a year and I think I will need to be replaced just shy of the 2 year mark:biggrin_25523:
