    What size propane generator do I need for a mobile home
    I want to run an generator during the winter when the lights go out, I just want to run my fridge, freezer, propane gas heater and a few lights and my wi-fi.


    I'm in a 70 by 14 ft mobile home and I need to find out what size propane gas generator would be best to buy and how would I get it hooked up to my electric box?

    I already have propane to cook and heat my home with and my gas company can hook up a 50 lb tank for me.

    I just don't know what size I would need? Could someone help me?

    Thanks

    Suggest you contact a generator supply company as we cannot guess at the needed current requirements. You cannot directly hook up to your panel, you need to install a transfer switch which is a utility requirement. Depending on size needed, transfer switches are $200_300
