I bought it a few months ago and it running a great. Most I love it when I use the remote to turn off the generator during I was inside trailer so I don't have to get out of trailer and press the power off.
Generator arrived in great shape. No problem with set up. Battery was charged. The generator was tested at the factory so there is residual oil in the unit. The supplied oil will over fill the unit. Quick set up should point that out better. I wish a free bonus generator cover offer that comes in the manual packet would have been mentioned before I ordered one. Runs very quiet. I like the features but the manual totally contradicts the remote start purpose. Manual says to not have anything plugged in or powered prior to start and unplug before shut down. Seems like an issue for RV operation. I asked customer service and was told its a backup to the electric start button on the unit. Back up to me is the pull start. Also the master switch has to be on for the remote start to work. Not sure how long the battery will last with the switch on. To be fair I have read that other competitors say the same thing. I will have to talk to my RV tech and get their input. Why have remote start if I have to walk outside to the generator anyway. I will post again after more experience with the unit. Customer service has been easy to reach and friendly. All in all I still feel like it was a great choice.
