What a nice way to break a months silence.
Impressive and creative Beach-Rat. It's a good compromise between a basement location and/or cutting holes in the pickup cap. Best of all is not having to worry about exhaust or weight distribution. Of course there's always sound and weather to consider.
Don't ya just love mechanical engineers.
Oh, and Seasons Greetings to this aging generation going on six years.

Many of us are still out here faithfully lurking, reading and marvelling at the endurance of "our" thread and that little yellow champion companion many of us proudly tote around. Mine still runs inspite of being dropped and drug along I-10 in Florida, and again on the Trace in Mississippi. My TT rear carrier bounced itself to death killing $1500 of bikes. BUT luck was with me. Battered, brused and bent, the Champion lives on to light up other nights. So, I have new bikes, a better carrier, and the same old gen set that has seen the Keys, Brownsville, Arizona, Mexico and points between. Life is good.
This thread has been a special place for me these past six years, kept alive by our mentor, the Professor, and Mr Wizard, etal. I could not imagine trying to reread all that has gone before. But then I have had the privilege of living it. Growing old gracefully has its advantages especially if you can run without smoking. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
My vote goes to this post. as: "Post of the year.

proff95,
question...concerning the champion 3000/3500 generator. If used in a moving vehicle would propane trump liqid? Would you seperate fuel from machine in this case? Not sure what VDOT laws are reguarding this inquiry. I do know the answer to "whats orange and sleeps six"? A VDOT truck.

What would happen to this thread, if someone was to mention how good Red Max floor wax was on the outside of a faided out motorhome body.

You can haul an 80,000 pound gasoline tanker through several of the restricted tunnels in our area without a problem or fuss - but try to travel the same route with a 5 gallon LPG tank and you are closed out and must take a different route. Traveling the DC beltway area is a good example.
But, your camper carries propane in tanks anyway - so what's the new issue 
VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation)? Don't think they have any specific rules - at least none that I have found - on LPG over gasoline.

I would not worry about what would happen to the thread - just about every possible subject has been broached here at one time or another. Still, we do try extremely hard to keep the topics on subject to the 3,000 watt class Chinese generator.
But your camper will look like it has milky white wax paper on it in a few weeks of weather exposure with acrylic floor wax on the outside. Best to use a water based polyurethane hardwood floor finish than acrylic wax - it will last about a year before it cracks and looks like poo.

Red Max Pro 3 is not wax
does not turn milky white
you have to buy the correct product
the Red Max brand has more than one product
Options, always have options, and the journey goes much smoother
