I put in a mini split in our Keystone Mini 17-1/2 foot trailer. We put in a 12,000 BTU mini split. Works great. It will maintain the trailer colder than you want even when it’s 100 degrees outside. I installed a small fan to help distribute the cool air.

Thanks for the comparison. For all night operation with a smaller unit I would find something with auto switchover between fuels. Start with propane and if that runs out, gasoline is ready to take over. You could also parallel two propane tanks. iapower has several models with these features

You can use a cover made out vynil used for tents. That's what I used to protect my condenser against rain, dust, sun radiation, etc. at a beach house. Use a rubber sling to hold it in place while traveling. A/C has been operational for over ten years. I painted the condenser's metal housing with marine barnish for corrosion protection.

Great video! I have noticed with my 25 foot motor home if I open a ceiling vent for 10 minutes will help speed up cool down. It lets out the hottest air instead of cooling it.

Super informative video Thank you for sharing all your data. It's very helpful! I live in Australia, and using your data, I have worked out that it would cost me about $1.60 per hour in Australia to run this great little generator at 50% load. Current price in Australia per liter, for regular unleaded fuel is $2.00 AUD per liter. Northern NSW (4th May 2024) I could then get about 25 hours of power from a standard 20-liter jerry can here in Oz. I have "EGO" Power Equipment batteries, that I could charge using the generator. (One 5Amph batterie could be charged in about 40.00 minutes) I can then use the charged 5 Amp EGO battery and the 240V inverter attachment I have for the EGO batteries, and then have regular 240 Volt power from the batteries, silently all night long, which is perfect! Works out to be potentially around 50 hours of Australian 240 Volt mains power, from a regular 20 Liter Jerry Can. (5.28 USA Gallons) for $26.40 USA/$40.00 AUD. PS: Have subscribed to your channel. 👍

But if propane costs 3 times as much than gas it just ain't worth it especially at today's costs of fuel now the only thing about propane to me is that it can be stored a long time.

Does anyone remember the box fan days when you just sat in front of it to cool down? Just condition your body to tolerate temperatures. I don't run the AC unless it's above 80 or if I'm sick. Thanks for the minisplit information though. I didn't even think about that. I just though that an 18000 BTU AC on a small TT was way too much.

They make rv heat pumps. We have a variable speed Colman mach heatpump. Low it pulls 400 watts and on high it pulls 1500 for about 2 seconds then settles in at 1050.
@lazyjack80813 ай бұрын
Liquid propane change to vapor propane is dependent on heat transfed via tank. When the tank ices, there is not enough heat transfer to convert liquid propane to vapor propane therefore the gen was starving for fuel near 9 hr mark. In a real application, just change to another tank then alllow first tank to come ambient temperature. Good test. I am wanting a dual fuel. This was very well done. Thanks.

This machine had low compression and rod knock during this video which was why it was hard to start. Inverter gens have the inverter off until it comes up to speed. The only load on it at the beginning was 20w. The connecting rod broke at 110 ish hours due to manufacturer error during initial build. Thanks for watching!

I own the same generator, never put diesel fuel in it but it will run for 5 minutes and then die and won't resart. Hook up propane and it fires right up and stays running. Figured out that if you loosen the gas cap it will run fine on gasoline with no issues. Called Firman and they sent me a new gas cap figuring the vent wasn't working properly but still have the same problem. I just leave it loose all the time.
@adamdominguez74704 ай бұрын
Found this comment, mine wouldn't fire up until I loosened the cap as well... have u had any problems running it like this??

@adamdominguez7470 I haven't had any issues running it this way. Still works fine, just have to loosen the gas cap half a turn or so. Haven't looked into the issue any further just cause it hasn't caused problems otherwise.

Bought a lawnmower that wouldn't start. A quantum Briggs and Stratton Murray lawnmower for 25 bucks at a pawnshop. Same thing. Someone filled the tank with diesel. Regularly the lawnmower would have been $150. Drained the diesel from the tank and carburetor and boom it ran again.
