I got it used. It’s a 2011 unit.

But has it been used? It looks like it's in original packaging.

I think it was repackaged. The generator itself has minimal amounts of wear so I don’t think it was used very much.

On a different note my Indiana rv plates came in! Gonna find some time to take it for a spin when we have a nice day.

Also made lots of headway (or rather my dad did) on the shower area. I have some 4x8 sheets of plastic that are going to be glued to the walls and caulked around the edges. Click image for larger version

I’m currently off on vacation, but my amazing dad is still at home hard at work. Kitchen storage/cabinets and the beginnings of the water pipes (pex)

The plan is to have a water heater (ecotemp) under the sink in the bathroom and vent it through the roof

Not sure if it’s visible in the pictures but there is a wire hook connected to the latch on the right behind the wall. It is just some copper wire screwed into the plastic latch

https://ebay.com/usr/greenlabeldeals is the seller page. There was a 2016 unit for sale but it must have sold already because it’s not listed anymore

Grandpa the pro carpenter did some stupendous work on the cabinets for the kitchen. Wouldn’t be where I am now in this project without the two men that came before me!

Finally got a chance to work on it after returning from vacation! Pro carpenter dad worked on the cabinets and other things while I started roughing in the 120v and 12v electrical systems. Click image for larger version

Awesome work.

Maybe they got into a 'one-upsmanship' battle while you were gone. You should have claimed to be snowbound in Orlando for a few weeks, and come back to a completed interior.

Looks great! Your Dad must be ready to get you out of the house! "Well the bus is done Son. It is time to hit the road. Write when you find work."
