Took a road trip and drove 2615 miles burned 477 gallons of diesel and ran the generator 146 hours.  Used less than a gallon of oil and had to replace the emergency pressure relief on the AD2.  Fourteen days on the road 8 nights of boondocking.  Everything performed as planned.

Hello Mel, Mike, ...

0.0625 miles, burned about .389 gallons, (I will let someone else figure out the milage) zero quarts of oil, zero genny run hours, driveway parking 100%, on the upside ... zero breakdowns or adjustments needed. About 8.6 weeks out. Mine too performed as planned and I too had to do laundry.
