Easy set up
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: sluch

Got this trailer camping. It was easy to setup up, except that the SAE plug on the battery had been crushed when I opened it, so I had to tweak that back into shape (round). Not a big fan of the oil fill/change method; you better hope you don't over fill by 1 milliliter, or you will have spillage inside the case. I put a folded shop towel in there to catch any residue, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise, generator works great, although the display is not rotating like it says it will. Good purchase
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this for my fifth wheel and it is very quite. You can actually have a conversation while standing right next to it, Also, it has plenty of power and will run the whole fifth wheel, including the A/C and Microwave at the same time, with no problems

Great features and power
on September 30, 2021

Recently bought this and so far, I am not disappointed. Did a lot of research on dual fuel generators and what sold me was the dual fuel, power output, remote start, and reasonable size. This generator will ultimately pull double duty as a RV power source and also partial home backup power.
For those wanting to remote the exhaust, this is very easy to do with how the exhaust is set up. No fabrication necessary. 1" silicone high temp hose and a host clamp is all you really need. Just be sure to put a CO2 sensor by it. Safety first!
Some reviews talked about having to do some work to their generator's choke to make it run. I didn't have to do that. Put the oil in it and connected the battery. Generator started on the 2nd crank of the remote button.
My only knock on this was that the manual says that the oil resevoir is 0.6 quarts. The oil they give you in the box also has 0.6 quarts. I dumped all the oil in it thinking that it would not overflow. wrong! Don't do what I did. Check it after you have put about 3/4 of the bottle in the unit. Save yourself the mess.

Works Great!

from Tracy, CA
We bought this a week ago and it works great! Love the remote start and that we can use propane or gas! The expandable handle makes it easy to move it around. There are 2 handles on the the top that make it easier to lift. Fairly quite as far as generators go.
I would recommend this to a friend!
