call blubonnet rv in rosenberg , they work w those all the time

 

The only advantage to an inverter is that the engine RPM can adjust to the load. Under light load, the engine is able to slow way down and still maintain the voltage. That makes it use less fuel and make less noise. I have over 1200 hours on the Onan on my RV and it's non inverter. It runs at a constant 3600 RPM. If you are going to put your generator on the roof of that trailer like most guys do, the inverter generator will be a lot quieter. I have a 2000 Watt Honda that's an inverter and under light load, you can barely hear it run.

 

MOnt,

Will that 2000w Honda be capable of kicking the AC on a RV type trailer? I understand with the noise. Good thing I have a 100' 30amp cord

Im just trying to figure out a way to power this thing as economical as possible because we will not use it that often. Maybe a dozen times a year.

 

Just left a local pawnshop they had a Kipor IG3000 for $499. Looked to be in very good condtition. If I didint already have a Honda 3000 the Kipor would be in the back of my truck.

 

where at?

generator

When I had issues with my Honda opening weekend of deer season I picked up a Champion 3500 from TSC for $299. It was abused for the rest of the season and still cranks up 1-2 pulls. Not a Honda but for the price I am very satisfied.... Look at www.wisesales.com for Honda or Yamaha generators

 

I have the Honda 3000EUIS myself and absolutely love it. If you can afford it and use it often do yourself the favor and get one. You will love it, your neighbors will love you.

 

generator

i run both of my rv's off a craftsman 5600 watt generator all the time with no problems. to my understanding all the inverter does is change the ac current to dc allowing you to use all your 12 volt dc lights etc. without draining your batteries. I could be wrong. What kind of trailer did you get, planning on getting one next year.

 

do you plan on running all this at one time? My guess is you need at least a 4,500 watts

 

The Honda 3000 EUIS or 2000 are supper quiet and have plenty of juice. Great for on board or slightly away from camp but you can't go wrong with them. :brew:

 

I used to have a 23' Minnie Winnie motorhome with a 3500 watt generator. Don't recall the brand. I could run the AC and one other appliance - hair dryer or coffee pot or whatever, but that was it. Times probably have changed. That was in 1978 when I bought the rig new.

 

I use a Champion 3500. It runs my a/c quite well. They arent as quiet as the Honda, but at my deer lease, every one elses generator is twice as loud as mine. The Champion is priced right at $300 or so. I bought mine several years ago and had to order on line. Recently I've seen them at Lowes Tractor supply and Sams
They also come with the R/V style 110 outlet. Just plug n go!
