Hi gang
I am aware these may be some receptive questions, so I will ask a few and research the rest in the search function, if there is one? Thank you!
I am getting a camper hopefully this weekend. I narrowed it down to a used 1998 Dutchman. This trailer is going to be used for Motocross racing and maybe a few Nascar events. Since I will be staying in places with no hookups, I am going to need a generator. I have been looking at the RV Champion generators, they seem to be a half decent generator for the money. I know Honda and Yamaha build the best, but I just do not feel like spending that kind of money on something I will only use for a night or two for a few months. I think 4000 Watts should be plenty, I have been looking at one with 30 amps and 4800 watts with 5000 peak watts. Now my question is, if I buy a generator, do I just plug it in to the trailer and I have instant power? or do I need to do thing before I can add a generator? I also need to know what the difference is with the inverter generators? I also need to know what size hitchball a 1998 Dutchman requires. It would really be a drag to show up with a 2" ball and it requires a 2" 3/8's!! and now I cannot get it home. I am really new to all this and I am looking forward to getting this camper! It is going to be nice to have a home away from home! Thanks for any help!
