    Generator door as a guide.

    I found out that the FR30DS generator door opens a about 2 inchs further then the slide. It's a great guide for the power stanchion or water pipe clearance measurement, before you crash into them with the slide. If the door swings open, the slide won't hit the poles.

    “Quiet” generator recommendations

    We have owned a 2019 Rockwood Minilite 2104s for a year and occasionally do a bit of “boondocking” (just campgrounds without power).

    Diesel generator on new Isata 3's

    Hoping someone in the know can tell me if what I was told by a "salesman" is true.
