Customer Review: RV GeneratorMy local RV store sells this for 699.00, it has electric start mind you but still at 365.00 for the pull start it is a bargin price wise... It ran perfectly on our camper running the air conditioner, lights, radio, microwave, etc.... I wish I was silent but thats just a silly thought as that is quite impossible. Maybe an add on additional muffler option!?! I would buy that in a second.... So far very happy with this and I would certanly recomend!!!
Customer Review: Not bad for the money
I purchased this a little while back. I use it for running my 29 foot travel trailer's electric needs. It had a couple little burps when it tried to start the 13.5 btu unit. The first time I took it out for a full run, it also, actually tripped it's onboard breakers when I tried to run the microwave at the same time the coffee maker was brewing. I was initially very impressed with it being quiet, but that went away after about 5 hours run time. It's still somewhat quiet, but there were times when it was running without a load that it got very loud.I wish it was available with "throttle management" so it backed down when there was no load. I put about 70 hours on it the first long weekend on a remote camping trip. I used about 16 gallons of gas. You have to change the oil at 5 and 50 hours, that was kind of messy. The oil drain is lined up right along the steel roll cage base frame. Filling it was like any motor but it came with a special funnel that made it bearable. I'm thinking I'll add a piece of pipe to the drain with a plug so that future oil changes are cleaner and easier. I would say, for the money it's a "fair" buy. Nothing horrible about it but nothing amazing either. It's better than paying over $2000 for a Honda that is only rated at 10 Db quieter.
