We have used the kzread.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

I must agree with Clint Singer. This is by far one of the best generator setups I've seen so far. I had no idea that a remote start was possible. I must add this to my setup. Great video and info. Thank you.

I was going to do something similar with the remote start. I wasn't sure how to do the choke, but you've shown me how to overcome that. Love the idea of the temperature shut down. About the only thing left now is the Fuel and oil levels. Thanks for a really informative video. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

This is by FARRR the best setup I’ve seen. You got it all. This is essentially a Champion/General system with 1/10th the cost. Wow!!!

This is very cool and a real good start to a awesome system. I recently just bought a house up in the mountains of Pennsylvania and power comes and goes. I just bought a 4500 watt generator for much less than 100 dollars. It’s all I have right now when the power goes out but with my electric baseboard heat I should be enough. I’m single with 2 friends living with me and my 2 dogs. I have no problem manually switching circuits and being the only house in my community with power haha. It seems you have 10000 watts and that’s awesome but my porch light is always on when the power goes out lol

Dude...this is GANGSTA!!💪🏽💪🏽 Translation: Sir, this is quite awesome!💪🏽💪🏽

Bloody good show. Great ideas used and temp control is tops. We live in a cyclone area. Aus East Coast. In town you can't run Genset s after about 8pm and not start before 7am when hit with a storm

I am a generator tech. I used to work for a Kohler dealer. Yours is a nice manual setup that didn't cost 6K. Now I work for a Cat dealer and never see residential anymore. I found a good used 100kw diesel generator that I had been servicing for 6 years and they bought a new one and I bought their old unit for almost nothing.

Excellent job! One of the very best that I have seen on any YT channel. 👏👏👍👍

Nice job on the setup and everything you've done electrically. I would however offer one piece of advice that will help your generator stay cooler with much better airflow inside the box, which of course will reduce the heat tremendously. 1 - remove the top rear inlet vent and seal it off completely. 2 - reduce the size of the bottom vent by about 1/2 the size. (I'd also add a screen under this vent to prevent bugs & stuff from being sucked into the box). The reasoning is that the intake air will be sucked in much faster and will swirl around inside the box creating a turbo effect and will push the air through the outlet vent with great pressure. This will cool down the generator a lot and increase it's lifespan.

IM going with yours, have seen many videos, yours is the best. Thank you for the links!!

I am coping your idea. I already have the generator and have already connected to my breaker box with a disconnect and generator cord. Mine will only be 30 amps at this point because my generator only goes up to 30 amps 240V. We used our generator during the freeze here in Texas and powered the whole house with no problem (gas furnace). I also bought the tri fuel carb and installed last Sunday and it runs like a champ. Thanks a bunch for your video.

I do not know where your location is but here in New Jersey the generator must be at least 25 feet from the residence to prevent exhaust fumes from leaking into house.

I love your step up. My house is like yours, I don’t have any natural gas. Your video is what I can do…

How does a resin enclose, especially of this size hold up from the heat of a generator? Just put up a 7X7 ft resin shed, dedicated to house my 9300 dual-fuel generator. Lined inside with cement Hardie backerboard due to heat concerns, which should do the trick. Installed gable vents on each side with a gable attic fan for air-outtake. Only thing left is to install my generator exhaust system, I don't want to weld nor use a magnet, and instead of pipe, I bought aluminum flex (not the dryer vent with plastic & foil!) which is rated at 100-400 degrees Fahrenheit, just not sure how hot the exhaust gets using the propane option (?)

Really cool set-up 👍🏼

Very nice setup. I had a Generac whole house at my old place and while it was convenient when it worked It was constantly needing fixed, mostly all the auto start electronics and Generac will not help a do it yourself customer at all so I went to a portables now that " I " control.

Great job, think you had everything covered I was looking for. I have the 13000 with duel fuel. I will put tank outside on concrete pad and run hose thru hole on side. Again, great job!

Nice set up. Love the enclosure.

I purchased this same shed for my Predator 9000 generator. 12/20/2022. Thanks for sharing your set up. would have like to seen how you did the exhaust.

Great idea with the solar panel.

Great Job, love the dynamat. I did my 91 Toyota Mr2 with it and it was helpful. great ideas will use some of them. Now if my generator would just get here :)

Love the concept, looking to do something similar myself. Couple of things I want to add though. 1. Should be using 6/3 instead of 8/3 for the 50A plug. 2. Depending on how you’re connecting to your main panel, you don’t necessarily need the ground rod.

@JackofAllMasterofNone

The generator cannot even put out more than 30 amps. It doesn't matter that it's a 50amp plug since the breaker is a 30amp on the generator itself. The ground rod is not necessary per code and was done only because the generator manual said too, but this is an old video and I did remove the ground.

Well done!

Just saw your video with the Duramax I like your idea with an enclosure my problem is it's a very loud generator and that's what I don't like about it I only had to use it once my generator runs on need a propane or gasoline I prefer the propane the problem is finding just the right Size Shed

Nice job on the remote panel 👍

Can you share how you got the muffler part out of the shed, wouldn't it melt the plastic?

Great job! You are a genius

definitely going to do one of these this is perfect and wont have to worry about it being stolen even if they do bust into that enclosure u took the wheels off and its connected to a ground rod and all the wires coming out, i installed a generator inlet on my power pole at my main breaker outside so when i need it ill probably have to plug the cord in and kind of close the lid over top it or cut a notch out somewhere and when its not in use coil it up and toss it in the enclosure with the genny i never really thought about doing a permanent generator shed like this could have just hard wired straight to my breaker box instead of installing the inlet but o well no biggie

Nic Job. So I have a Duro Max generator as well. I would like to know what materials you used to modify your exhaust? I have my enclosure and am now ready to modify it. I have a roll of Thermo Tec heat insulation from my hotrod days that will work perfectly. Thanks.

How did you resolve exhaust ? I have Duramax 13000 dual fuel

Very nice. Did you secure the gen to the floor?

Dang, I need you to come and set mine up like that. If you lived close I’d be asking you for help. I’m in Texas and have the Westinghouse w/ remote start. I’m grateful to have what I have.

Great job 👍.. huge sound different.

I have the same Keter shed, and I ran into the same problem. It didn't fit with the wheels on. I also have the same mylar insulation, same 1400 cfm attic fan. I used a 18x18 return air vent with a permanent filter for the intake and I got a 12000w generator but I'm using propane for fuel and I have a second shed with two 100 lb. Propane cylinders. During the snowstorm of 2021 in Texas I found it impossible to travel, and most importantly impossible to purchase gasoline because no power no pumps. I have a smaller generator that came with remote start and a keyfob. I wonder if I can find a retrofit kit 🤔?

Just bought a Pulsar dual fuel generator and was looking for something like this to help dampen the sound (so I dont disturb my neighbors too much) and to keep the generator out of the elements. Thank you for sharing, this is awesome! What are you using to charge the battery via solar?

Nice job!

I like the remote start and choke. For those buying new, an easier option would be the Westinghouse which comes with a wireless remote starter. So you don’t need to add one on manually.

Amazing job. The only detail I would add, is that, unless you run your generator often, a gas generator should be shut off by shutting the gas line off via the shut off valve while running and letting it run out of gas. If gas is let to stand in its small carburetor for any length of time, you may need to take the carburetor apart and clean it with carburetor cleaner to get it to restart. I did that to my 4000 W gas generator, and left it off for 4 years, and I was amazed that it started after a couple of pulls.

A simple temperature switch that closes the circuit when it reaches whatever temp you want. Connect it to the coil input and when this generators coil is grounded it shuts down. That's exactly what the key switch does. It ground out the coil when it is in the off position to keep it from running. Very simple.

I know it is a pain to do all of this stuff and you probably just overlooked that after doing all of the other great things you did to your setup. Cool way to do the choke.
