Your lack of grammar lead me to initially believe your response was something I’d find on a Cracker Jack box. However, about the 4th sentence in, I realized you sure sound like you know what’s going on.

However, that’s Einstein shit communicated like a 10th grader. No offense. I just thought it was funny.
Was reading and typing at the same time. Wasn't concerned about grammar. But thanks anyway. I am definitely not a typist.

To convert to kW from Watts you divide by 1000, not multiply by 100 as noted above.

Edited to correct my error per Mighty Mouse....too early when I posted I guess.!
Watts to KW is formula is watts x1000. Not the reverse To convert KW to watts you divide.

I just finished making a generator box for my 2200, really pleased with how it turned out. Unfortunately it won’t run being completely closed (I have a vent at the exhaust end and an access door to plug the power into on the other end) I just bought a small computer server fan to try and create enough air flow to keep it from turning off. I hope this works because as quite as the Hondas are the box cut the sound in half.

I got an inexpensive Wen generator (2300 I think) and have gotten a lot of good usage out of it. It is efficient and quiet and has enough wattage to run my freezers at home during a power outage and a circular saw at the job site. If there were higher stakes or it was going to rack up thousands of hours I would probably go Honda, but for use as a back up occasionally or camping it works great for a fraction of the price.

1 kilowatt = 1000 watts. To convert from W to KW, divide the W value by 1000. To convert from KW to W, multiply the KW value by 1000. I suspect all of us discussing this actually do know how to do the conversion and are just phrasing it differently.

I’m looking to get a generator that I can use for backup if the power goes out at my house and that I can use for my camper on trips. I’m not sure what to get. Any input is appreciated.
I have a combination system. I have the Honda 2000 inverter generator plus an Anker 2400 watt electric battery/generator, with 440 watts/hr worth of solar panels.

The idea is to at I can run the gas generator sparingly, capturing all of its output into the lithium battery of the Anker. The Anker can then run just enough juice to power what I need with very little waste.

I can get every Watt out of the gasoline I have, supplement it with 440 W per hour of midday solar, and run everything through the Anker, which has a 30 watt plug in for my camper.

I could double either side of the equation, and even expand to 1000 watt/hour solar should I see the need.
