Will it be too loud? How do we compare the noise levels of RV generators?  They are quoted in Decibels so it's not familiar to most RVers.A typical RV generator icon, of whatever power, will have a sound level quoted in decibels. To compare two RV generators' specifications, you must remember that the decibel, or db scale  is not linear, but logarithmic.  If this sounds more like High School Science, you don't really need to remember it! What you do need to remember, though, when comparing two RV generator specs, is that the figures, usually quoted in db(A), can be deceiving.  A Honda RV generator, which is very quiet (though you may be surprised camping out in the desert, how noisy it can sound) might be quoted at 54db(A) @ 20ft. A "Brand X" RV generator might be quoted at 57db(A) @ 20ft.  You might think - 'That's OK much the same as the Honda, and much cheaper! Think again!  A difference of 3db(A) means double the loudness - The brand X RV generator is twice as loud as the Honda! Another point to remember is that you may be advised to buy a diesel powered RV generator.  These are inherently more noisy than the gas-powered type.  Why would you prefer a diesel RV generator?  If your rig is diesel powered, you need to carry a supply of fuel for the gas RV generator - why take up space, and risk carrying two kinds of fuel? A further reason for buying a good quality RV generator , is that air conditioning units and washing machines are now being fitted with inverters, to control the speed of the motors, rather than turning on or off as with previous systems.There can be some reaction between the RV generator supply and the inverter electronics, causing spikes, which are deadly to electronic devices!   The fix is to install line filters of about 2-3KW to arrest the spikes.  These are not too expensive - certainly much cheaper than a new aircon, washing machine, maybe plus a better quality RV generator! arthritis supplement | oil change marietta | Triathlon Clothing Ironman Triathlon Training | Bunny Outfits burn belly fat | leather pillows Pewter Collectibles | Instep Jogging Stroller | Crate Motors Header Photography © Robert Pernell, Aaron Kohr, Natalia Bratslavsky| Agency: dreamstime.com Copyright © Allfromhomecom
