While running the Firman 3,300-Watt Portable RV Dual Fuel Inverter Generator - Propane or Gas - Electric Start
# FIR54FR on traditional gasoline it will have a 3,000 watt output at 12V, 8.3 AMPs.
An overload in a generator generally happens when too many appliances are plugged into the generator. To prevent overload and to protect your items/equipment it is suggested to stay within the output rating of your generator and turn off all NON-essential equipment.
You can do an energy audit of your intended uses and find out what power output you need, I will post a link that will help you determine this.
If you find you need a little more power in your life I recommend the 4,500-Watt Portable RV Generator - 3,600 Running Watts - Propane or Gas - Electric Start # 333-0005. The starting surge power is roughly 1,000 watts higher but it does run a little louder too.
