Almost a perfect Generator for an RV.

I bought this for our 35' 5th Wheel after struggling with two smaller units in parallel. After a long and tedious Break In period, we have run it ~350 hrs. over the past summer in sweltering heat at times -- over 100F. We run it non stop boondocking for three or four days at a time and have had ZERO Problems with it. The run time is very good, not great when running the AC continuously, but that's what you get in a compact unit. In our RV, we are running the AC, Fridge, Hot Water Heater, Ceiling Fan, Coffee Pot, Microwave, two Satellite receivers with 32" TV's, Device Chargers and the occasional Hair Drier and the coach battery charger. Never all at once, but I don't have to do much "Power Management" and use common sense. However, on a hot day, pulling ~30Amps continuously for hours is not uncommon. I installed a "Soft Start" on the AC. Best investment next to the IGen4500. Makes life easy on everything. Also, a GOOD Break In and load test is really important - to me anyway. The first start up with factory oil was on and off every 30-minutes for a couple of hours allowing it to completely cool off. Then the same with a half load or so with with an electric heater turning the heater on and off every 15-minutes or so. Then an oil change at about 5-6 hours. Then a load of Full Synthetic Mobil Delvac-1 5W-40 Engine Oil. Repeating the same procedure, although going up to full load with two electric heaters, again varying the load between zero, half and full load+ with full cool downs for another 5-6 hours, then another oil change with synthetic. Then I ran it about another ten hours with several cool down / start ups cycles with varying loads of zero up to the maximum output of 4k+ -- for several minutes at a time. After about 20 hours or so, I changed the oil one last time before we hit the road with it. I have been changing the oil at about 100hr intervals since. Zero oil consumption and it comes out pretty clean. Our last trip we ran it non-stop for over 70hrs. After ~350hrs on it, I am pretty happy. It has been the least of my worries traveling.

Bought this generator to use with my camper and it is great. Plenty of power to run everything in the camper and amazingly quiet. Easy to use and the display/control panel is user friendly and intuitive.

Still in my break in period but seems like a high quality generator. I've used quite a few different brands and this one seems to be starting off the best. Remote and electric start functions are great as well
