Great for Camping

We bought this generator to supply power to our 33ft. camper. We just used it on a 4 day trip and couldn't be happier. We were able to run whatever we wanted and it used minimal gas. It is so quiet to use, you couldn't hear it beyond our campsite. I would definitely recommend it.
Had to get a bigger generator for my new travel trailer to handle bigger A/C unit. Runs great. Ran it for the first time to break it in. Just finished the oil change and it’s almost impossible to do. The drain screw does not line up with the access hole. A normal size male hands will have a hard time lining up and starting the threading of the screw plug. This is a major design flaw.
Set up took about 5 minutes and this generator is whisper quiet. I used the remote start for the first start up and after holding the button for about 2 seconds it started right up.
Pros: very pleasing color, compact and quiet. not too heavy. loved the wheels with retractable handle. and the front panel. Cons: no oil gauge. this could prevent spills. at least the initial oil provided should not have caused a spill. An index in the user manual would be nice as well.
Mne worked for a couple of months on a boat transport form New York to Florida. It stopped working 3 weeks into the trip. Floods out, won't start and continue running.
