It only has 412 hrs on it and I know they last a long time up to 10-1500 hrs I am told if you do regular maintenance on it. I have looked into have a 50 plug in set up like at an RV park...our hot tub uses a 50 amp also, but, ouch the expense....up to $1200 clams!!! So, I have a 50 amp cable, a 50 to 30 amp adapter, and a 30-110 adapter....can I go 50-30 adapter to 30-110 adapter and plug into my outlet in my garage or is that a no-no? Don't want to fry anything! Suggestions?
Do you have a residential fridge in your 17 Hurricane? Or a propane/120 VAC fridge? If not residential you don't need to run the generator but you can still plug into your house's duplex receptacle to run the fridge on 120 VAC and keep your batteries charged, otherwise it should cool on propane just fine.
