I'm running the whole house on an 8k generator right now. I want the ability to run the well pump an the a/c or heat as well as lights and cooking! 8k seems about right so far.
Okay - I can see that you know what you are doing. Wouldn't a stationary whole house unit make sense for your application? Propane fuel would make a lot of sense for you since it never goes bad. A water cooled diesel might be easier on your ears too. More money for either? Yes. Peace of mind? Priceless!
