I'm hoping this relative newbie can find an answer here for this question. I went to my storage today (where there is no electricity) to run my generator under load. Beth had said it didn't have to be a load from the AC (much too cold for that even in California), but could be anything like a space heater, hair dryer, etc. So I started the generator and plugged in the heater. The red light came on on the heater but it wouldn't start or blow air. Is the electricity that the generator supplies something different from what's at home. I brought the heater home and plugged it in and it worked fine. Later I was wondering if I should have turned on the inverter. I know nothing about electricity and only the little I've learned in the last few months about RVs, so if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I sure would appreciate it.
