I just picked up the unit yesterday and inspected the box and the unit at the store for any damage. Once home I meticulously followed the setup / start up instruction. After filling with gas, it started after one or two revolutions of the engine. That was pretty amazing. Today I will do a break in run with a small load on and off for an hour or so and then change the oil to synthetic. With luck it will be a good unit replacing two Smaller competitors units that I could never get to reliably parallel. This unit is heavy, but will be a lot less hassle when it comes down to running AC, Microwave, Coffee Pot, etc in the RV and have a run time that will go through the night without refueling.
No issues, ran everything except 2 ACs in the RV, which is to be expected. It will run all night on a tank of gas. It's quiet and does what it's supposed to do. It's heavy no doubt. I have to have help to lift it into an RV compartment, but it does have beefy handles.
