I bought this for my new fifth wheel trailer, but have not tried to use it yet. Hopefully this will be good for boondocking.

This generator was recommended by a knowledgeable friend. I haven't started it yet, but it looks good. I hope it performs for a large party we are going to throw in a week.

It’s a generator

Interesting that they offer you a generator cover if you leave a review when you register the product. When you haven’t had time to even try it, they want a review. Seems a little bizarre to me.
So first impressions…
I like that the oil bottle holds just the right amount to fill it up. It was a bit messy, but there is a nice threaded funnel that really helps. I got oil all over my hands, but not all over the generator.
I started it on propane, but haven’t put any gas in it. It took a few pulls for first start.
The starter doesn’t work, so I will find out fast how customer service is to deal with.
It is quiet. I hooked a space heater up an it works.
It seems like the marketing videos show them hooking propane up to a quick connect, but you need a wrench. The wrench included doesn’t fit the either of the propane regulator or hose fittings, so I am not sure what that wrench is for yet.
I think it is weird that they don’t ship the high altitude kit with it. They want you to buy that separately on the website. I was able to find a propane kit but not a carb kit. They don’t even sell one. It is crazy that they even sell generators in high altitude areas that are not ready to run in that area. Time to call customer service and see if I can get some help with the starter.

Great noise level for a generator with this capaci
on May 13, 2019
Posted by: Michigqn Camper

We just purchased this generator to provide power for our camping trailer at rustic campsites. We wanted one with enough capacity to allow us to use the air conditioner. At no load the noise level is great though the noise increases as load is added, still running a shop vac as a load the noise from the shop vac was much louder than the generator. It is still much quieter, smaller and lighter than the generator I use at home to run power tools outside. The wheels and carry handle are a big help though its still heavy to lift into the bed of my truck. Out of the box added oil and gasoline. Initially wouldn't start after 2 tries with remote and 1 with push button (6 tries total) and 2 with pull cord, flooded it. Let it set for about 30 minutes and it started right up with remote. After sitting for a week tried starting it twice with the remote (4 tries total) but it wouldn't start probably flooded again. After 30 minutes started right up. Looking forward to using it at the campsite!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Filled the oil and gas and connected the battery and it started right up. Ran smooth and quiet. Ready for next power failure.

First Generator
on October 25, 2019
Posted by: New Gen
from San Antonio, Texas
I had been researching a generator for our new RV and believe we made the right choice on the Westinghouse IGEN4500DF. Once I took it out of the box and read the instructions I finished setting it up. Only downfall I had from instructions was for me to fill entire bottle of oil into the engine. I didn't use it all but still it was leaking out. Cleaned up the excess and closed the drain plug. Hooked up the Propane and put enough gas in to start.
Okay, now I ready to start. It took a couple of tries and review of instructions but it started up. Then I switched over to Propane and you can here it convert. Let it run for a little bit and switched back to gas seamlessly. Remote worked like a charm.
I can't wait to take it out camping and enjoy my new Westinghouse I GEN4500DF.
