camping and generators

[Bofire]

 :)I bought the two batteries at a NAPA store I think they are 27 something. I'll pull the cover and look in a day or two. Heck my sister runs her motorhome for 4 days on the battery. sounds like you have some huge draw.

I don't even bother with the gererator if I am any less then 4 days out, or the wife comes along 

I have only drained my battery down once sence I have had my camper and that was after 5 days.

If you can, try to get ahold of a DRMO milspec 2 or 3 kw unit.  It will be deisel and litterally sip fuel. not to mention you'll get a lot more hours out of it.   You would probably get it for pretty cheap too.

I don't know anything, I'm just a generator mechanic.

Remember to change your oil on your generators to the manufacturures specs of every 250-300 hours.

I just bought a Yamaha 2000 last week and I'm going to be using it for all of next week, so I'll let you know.

I can't say enough good about the Honda 2000i generator.  Very quiet and on eco throttle just hums right along.  I'm off the grid and run my refrigerator/freezer, kitchen range (also have a wood cook stove) and a tankless water heater with propane.  Lights, computer, tv, coffee pot, toaster, water pump, even my washing machine are ran by a Honda 2000i (though not all at once...).  The last one I sold with over 15,000 trouble free hours on it (never even changed the spark plug) and the one running right now has another 5K hours on it.  Change the oil every 10 gallons of gas or so and you will never wear it out except from just sitting around rarely being used.  They are very quiet on eco throttle, right now I can just barely hear mine purring out the back door and if the tv was on I'd have to go outside to be able to hear it.
