Re: 2 Kool 4 Skool build
2K4S cruises way too easily at 65 plus. Most of the way I was on CC and kept it at 55 to save fuel.

Re: 2 Kool 4 Skool build
Got the 2 15a circuits started. The load center's in the pic. (20a breakers, all I have right now...15s later.)
C1 will serve the water heater (switched) and 2-3 other outlets.
C2 will serve the window AC and 2 others.
Gen power is the 30a receptacle.

Re: 2 Kool 4 Skool build
Onan in and running. All electric, gen and shore, is functional. I mounted the gen backwards to make carb and points access easier. No hatch access so crawl under and sit up to work on components and change/check oil. need a tailpipe and muffler, going with a stack.

Re: 2 Kool 4 Skool build
Installed a 10 gallon gas tank for the Onan. Fits in the space rearward of the gen. Fills through a hatch in the floor inside the wheelchair door.
