Ah man the facts keep getting in my way I see why you say it has MORE power than the Onan 5500; ( It does) . To take it a step further per the specs you sent; when my RV is in Colorado ( Denver) I can only get about 4500 watts of power as the specs say I lose 3.5% per 1,000 feet of altitude.

I would love to find a luxury SUV, with this power inverter system, that is under 5,000 lbs that could also tow 5,000 lbs. We don't have a towed, but if I bought new SUV, I would like for it to be toad capable, but something I could drive day to day to work ( if we ever go back into the office
