Well got to fire up the new Ryobi 2kw generator for the first time. Few drops of fuel (it was all I had), and a little oil. Takes .42 quarts or 10w-30 ( I had syn 10-40). Since mine was a refurb it didn't come with any since I only got the unit with no box. After adding oil, two pulls it fired up right away. Purrs like a kitten. I was amazed how quiet it was. Looks like a smart purchase for $399 I tested it under a 25 amp DC load and it didn't strain at all. I'll report back if anyone is interested as I get to really try it out. But so far so good. Maybe a good alternative to the Honda for over a grand! I will be taking out my Onan even though it only has 78 hrs and is from 2001. But I really hate its smell and sound. I think I'll use it at my house as a backup. I'm excited to have a nice portable generator for $399
I ordered a TurboKool today. I really hope it works. Got it for only $425 shipped. Can't wait to check it out! My GMC is really turning out cool lately. I'll be interested in telling people about TurboKool for anyone in the south west. Less then 5 amps DC on High Pwr, near 2 amps on low, perfect for my solar array. From wanting to blow my GMC up, to starting to really enjoy it makes me a ton more happy with it!
I took peoples suggestions and did research on a bed for the front seats. I bought a foldable bed from Pro Bass Shop after researching them all. I had to remove the Legs on both sides of the bed and kept the middle legs intact. Then I cut the legs I removed that went down to the ground and fit them to go side to side on the head and foot of the bed. Then screwed them in both sides where the legs used to be attached. Now instead of the bed folding up into a little bundle it folds in half like a clam shell. When needed I simply lay it across the front seats. The middle legs didn't need anything they touch the ground perfect. I'm 5'9" 190 and was comfy in it. I'm sure our daughter will enjoy it as well so she doesn't get kicked all night by her little brother sleeping on the foldable couch  I maybe a forum pest but peoples suggestions help me a lot to accomplish things on the GMC its, "Gettin There"
