How many Amps will this generator output on the largest plug? I have seen pictures of this unit with the largest being a 45 Amp plug and others with a 60 Amp plug. Considering there is not a 60Amp breaker, I am wondering if the 60 Amp plug is actually delivering 60 Amps. Thanks

Wanting to use this on a Food Truck. Would I be able to plumb it to my propane tank? It would be a 100lb tank. I could install 2 if needed. There will also be other pieces of equipment connected to the propane tanks.

Trying to determine which transfer switch to buy for the Winco HPS 12000HE generator. Our circuit breakers are located in two boxes each rated at 200 amps, but we have more than twice the capacity we need. What used to be a shop is now just a garage/workshop and needs only a light and garage door opener. We have a heat pump, well pump, refrigerator/freezer, freezer, new water heater, and some lights to be used during a black out. I surely don't need 400 amp service then. Do I have to buy a transfer switch for 400 amps just because the capacity of my circuit breakers is that much? Also, do you sell enclosures for this generator?
