I find it hard to keep track of how long the generator has run, much worse with two units. I installed a hourmeter in my Champion 2000’s, found an area where the airflow is still cool enough not to cook the electronics. I wired it to the 12V outlet, something I’m not likely to use.

Images here.

Nice  little mod there Roger. Thanks for the pix.

Where did you get the meter and how much?

The meters came from Gregg Distributing, if I remember right, about $70 per unit. I chose the digital because they are very long lived and small, the mechanical version has a very short life expectancy if exposed to vibration. I imagine you could probably find them on-line for less.
