Easy Setup

Purchased to use with our camper and for emergencies. It was easy to unbox and setup. Just check oil as you fill to prevent overfill. Added gas and walked away for 30 minutes, came back and hit start button and fired right away. I'm looking forward to getting lots of use from it for camping and hopefully not for power outages!!

For RV Generator

Break in period is 5 hours of less then 1850 watts. So ran a small fan on it for that time. Shows estimated run time, gallons/liters left in tank, and watts being used. it was 70db next to the generator when about 20 feet away it was 60db. Can take synthetic or oil provided. When no load on the unit it would turn off in a few minutes. Haven't tried it on the RV yet, but has 30 amp output, the regular plugs are 20 amp output.

Lightweight and Quiet

This generator is lightweight and powerful. It's light enough that my girlfriend and I are able to lift it into the back of my truck without a struggle. It powers our camper when we're out in the woods but doesn't disturb any nearby neighbors with obnoxious noise. Overall, im happy with this purchase and think it was well worth it.

So far so good

I set up engine and started motor. Motor did not come up to speed. Smoked a lot. I have seen many reviews about issues with the choke, so I pulled the side panel off and checked operation of the choke. It was stuck closed.. I manually opened it and the generator ran just like it should. i ran it for about 4 hours with about 1500 watt load and all went well. I downloaded the Service Bulletin on the choke cable issue. I followed the instructions, pulled the front panel and reconnected the dangling connector. Put everything back together and watched the choke operate as the motor was starting and all was good. I am going to use this for power outages and I have every belief that it will perform as advertised when the time comes.

Powerful Generator

Purchased this generator to power the Rockwood UltraLite 28 ft 5th wheel with two A/C units. In the test of the Generator, I found that the generator performed outstanding. Connected to the generator with an RV 30A to RV 50A cable. Fired it up and started the testing. It powered one A/C unit and the microwave, but the dual A/C being turned on at the same time caused the circuit breaker on the generator to POP! Understanding since it will exceed the generator's ratings. Did find it really quiet and even when demand was high, you could still have a conversation within feet of the device without shouting, or talking loud. Ran the A/C, Microwave, and other in house electrical items without any power outages. the fuel useage was really remarkable. It said 18hrs on 25% demand. With all that was connected and running, I found the generator fuel level lasted more than i would have thought. Would I purchase this generator again, Yes without any reservations. If you need a powerful little generator that does a great job, maintains economy, and is ready to power your RV, this is it.

Works great!

Very simple to set up and get going. Started up the first time after 3 pulls. After that its starts up on the first pull every time. Even though the unit is heavy, the handle and wheels make it easy to move around. I also really like the design and it has loads of features without being overwhelming.

Perfect for our needs.

I just started this new unit for the first time and used the remote. It fired up perfectly and runs great. Had completely loose battery strap and had to take out battery to connect inside clip then spent 2 hours before 2 of us, one holding a flashlight to finally get the second clip attached. This should be done in the factory. Now my large hands are all bruised up. The rest went like clock work but the gas cap I had to use wide reach vice grips to break it loose. A gorilla must have screwed it on. Good job gorilla.

Great Generator

This is the 4th Generator purchased, have been purchasing for friends after my original purchase 1+ year ago. Found no major issues and all have been running great. 1 exception was one of them was having issue starting, after investigating found that the automatic choke wire became un plugged. Plugged back in and everything has been fine. Remote start is a great included option.

Solid Performer

This has been a great addition to our RV and hasn't failed us during our cross-country trek. The unit provides the needed power to run the fridge, outlets/lights, and the AC without missing a beat. The best feature besides the remote start is how quiet the unit is!

Wiring repair needed upon receipt, now works

The unit would not stay running upon receipt unless the fuel shutoff was nearly closed. Contacted the technical support line and created a case. However while waiting for a tech to call back, I found a service bulletin online for re-attaching a wiring harness that comes loose during shipment. Once I completed the repair, unit seems to work great. Sounds like this connector needs to be redesigned so it doesn't come loose.
