Our predator 3500 works well with our fifth wheel on one AC. It holds 2.5 gallons of premium leaded gas. In real world usage I get about 6 hours run time at an altitude of 4000 feet. It averages a current of 15 amps on my RV, which is 60% of its running amps 25/3000 watts.
I need to clean the spark arrester every 50-100 hours, takes 5 minutes. Change the oil every 100-200 hours for best run. Basically I can get 24+ hours run time on 4 tanks of gas or 10 gallons. Many larger generators burn throughout more fuel than this in 24 hours running at the same amperage.
Legally in my county In Wyoming in town I can only store 25 gallons of gas at my city home. That’s just over a two day run time. You also want to keep a few extra spark plugs so you have replacements. Also a couple quarts of engine oil for the generator.
