Hey Wally, I knew you would have good info for me. I have a propane generator that puts out 7500kw, so I'm sure I can run everything with it on. Would there be a fuel filter on a propane genset? I've been in temps under 40 degrees a couple of mornings and it would not start, but after about an hour of the block heater being on it started easily. I'll have to be sure to stay where I can get at least 30 amps so I can leave the block heater, water bay heater, and will definitely leave the propane water heater on. I, also, have a temp sensor in the water bay, so can monitor that to be sure we're keeping enough heat in there. I've got all three heaters down there (engine, electric, and propane).

How many amps do you think the block heater will draw? I can run the gas furnaces for the interior, and the water bay, which will reduce the amps.
