Hold on.. Math doesnt add-up here. Are you telling me that a gallon propane tank (3.8l) can last 24 hours for about 1000W power generation. Are you sure? I could belive for 6 hours... maybe 8.. not 24 hours. So either you are using up 200-300W.. or you have superior power generator. Can you share what are you using?
Sorry I noticed my error right after I hit send. I meant a 5 gallon tank, not 1. Inverter generators are definitely worth the extra cost though. Mike

We just run extension cords and don't have a transfer switch. It's pretty surprising what you can run on about a kw. A gallon propane tank lasts close to 24 for us.
