generator to use with Trace DR2424 [RE-wrenches]

Right on, Todd,

As usual when this topic comes up, I still suggest using the 
Lister-Petter Diesel or propane sets, and for a single inverter the 7 kW 
unit is more than adequate. You simply cannot beat slow turning (1800), 
heavily built, cast iron block, liquid cooled technology for longevity 
and reliabilty; this is why Onan uses the private labled Lister engine 
for it's own high-end smaller units.
