It works fine

I'm leaving this review for a free generator cover. It's honest, but I am incentivized.
I bought this generator for my travel trailer to power the AC after we were expecting higher than normal temperatures and I had to work. I have a large solar system with a lithium battery but running the AC all day requires more power. I bought this because it was available in Rapid City SD to be shipped to a local retailer.
I ordered the iGen4000 but the store shipped the 5000. This generator was able to run my AC while staying below the 50% threshold for the first five hours. I changed the oil at that point and then I was able to run my entire trailer without issue on this. I would switch AC loads from my inverter to the generator and then also charge the battery.
The generator is relatively quiet. I hate generators in campgrounds but it was necessary. It has ample capacity to run a 30 amp trailer. Adding and changing the oil is simple. It comes with a screw in funnel and I was lazy and just dumped it back out the same as it went in to change it.
The remote start is fine but it requires you leave everything connected and you shouldn't start with a load or shut it down with loads. The battery was dead when I got it and needed to charge. The second time I ran it the electric start worked well.
The generator is over 100 pounds though so it is hard to move and get in and out of the truck. I bought the 4000 which is 67 pounds so this is a major drawback.
I need the high altitude kit and most manufacturers offer it for free but I haven't found a way to get it from Westinghouse for free. I submitted a request for this via support so we'll see what happens.

Bought it for running my toy hauler since the onboard burns a lot of fuel and is noisy. This is quiet and meets all my need.

Looks great

Just unboxed it but it looks great. Fill it with oil provided in kit (and funnel), hooked up battery, put gas in it and it fired right up. It sounds about the same as my Yamaha iseb3000 so I'm happy with that. Remote works smooth too. I think its gonna be perfect. We will see this weekend.
