I am thinking about using this this unit in an RV. Do I need to let it "rest" 48 hours after ever move?

I believe that as long as you store this unit without tipping it on its sides, the movement while driving itself won't affect your ability to use it. Leave it on its feet when you store it in your RV.

Once it sets up right for the 1st time as long as it is upright your good to go, it is the oil that the compressor has in it that well move in to the coils that cool and discharge heat from it, if you turn it on it's side like anything else , it well need time for the oil to drain back down.

The "letting it rest" deals with the oil in the motor and the fact that that needs to settle ..if u are simply moving the unit from one place to another without major disruption, no resting period is needed. If, on the other hand, u are boxing it and it will get turned up side down and on its side, etc during the move, then yes it will need to rest. Think of it like a waterglobe with snow in it ..if the globe is just moved from one spot to another, the snow doesn't get agitated ..if u turn it around and upside down, it does. Same goes for the oil in this machine. Hope that helps

We have used it extensively in our Kodiak travel trailer for two years. I have noticed that it gets warm when it is used, but not to the point of burning someone by touching it. It does have an automatic shutoff feature when tipped over, which is important. We do put it up on a kitchen counter to simply prevent our dogs from bumping into it and it does a great job of heating up our trailer in a short amount of time and then it shuts off with the thermostatic setting, until the temperature goes down and it starts again............RogerG

approximately 20 minutes, with a 2k lbs load, if the load is over 2k, it will pull it but will stop periodically to cool this will dramatically affect your loading time !

Depends on high you set it. If I leave it on low, it will run overnight for 2 nights. If I turn it up halfway to high, it is near empty by morning.

I have had no issues so far with this unit. So far it has performed well. I still have not tried the RV specific part of the unit yet (where you put in the RV size and it keeps you off of roads you shouldn't be on) but expect that to change in the coming year.

We have had no problems with it overheating even when we use it a lot. I think the directions say not to use for more than 45 minutes at time and we probably stick to that pretty well.

I wouldn't recommend continuous 4 hour use as this will certainly cause the machine to overheat. Our manufacturer instructs us on a 15 minute break every hour and 25 minutes. Sorry

I let is fully inflate for the 48 hours based on a review I read from a molecular biologist. It needs the full 48 to stabilize.

Can I leave the unit in the bird bath to freeze overnight if I don't want to run it 24 hours?

we pull ours thru rv parks from site to dump station 5 to 10 mph... mile, mile and a half at most. it is designed just for that purpose, so u dont have to move camper off of site to empty tanks.

I usually don't leave any space heater on overnight or when I am not there. With it being electric I am sure it wouldn't be a problem, but I'd rathe be safe than sorry. I have had it on all day while there, and it seems to do just fine. No issues.

No, it will turn on with motion and then go off after a preset time of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, minutes. Not for big loades like heaters, fans.

It really is not necessary. What I do is use the breakers in our RV to control what is able to draw power and what isn't. On top of that, this generator does not take load when it first starts. It has a 15 to 30 second period after it starts where it runs without load. The remote start works great and I leave ours plugged in between starts.

48 hours is the recommended time. I wouldn't recommend this product, though.

No it isn't normal to move. I took mine back because it kept shutting off and I thought it had a safety feature for overheating when actually it was faulty and going out even when it was brand new.

We used this unit on maximum for 24 hours in a small guest house with no difficulty. No one was present during this time. The rooms were musty but completely refreshed after use.

Since it has a compressor - like a refrigerator does, it needs to stand up for several hours before powering up to ensure that all the compression fluid has time to drain back to the proper location. I had to transport mine on its side for 3 hours, but let it stand overnight before installing. No problems!
