Ready ...Set ...Generator !!

Filled the crank case, gas tank and fired the 2000i up this afternoon. Started on 3rd pull. So quiet I thought it might not be running correcly. Of course, that was in "Eco Mode". When I plugged in a small vacuum cleaner that pulls 6.2 Amps it idled up a bit - - still very tolerable.

I located something called an "Power Maximizer" plug that insterts into both of the 110 outlets at the same time and has a 3-prong 30Amp style to attached your regular RV shore power cord. Don't have it yet but looking forward to seeing how that performs.

I think we'll go camping tomorrow !!

I have a 5500 continous, 8750 surge Generac, its in an out building that has underground feed to the house. I run it every 2 months for 15 minutes, I use stabil in the fuel, I take the fuel out every 3 months and replace it with fresh, then use the old fuel in the mower, chain saw, weed eater etc, I also try to keep 5 gallons of fresh on hand. We have had to rely on it about 3 times in the last 2 years, its nice to have lights, fridge is running etc, now we have the pod and we could hole up in there for quiet a while if needed. we have some stuff back in case the #### hits the fan, we could make it for a month, but after that ? we have an osmosis water purifier and a spring on the back of the property, Donna does not like squirel, but I do. stay prepared people as I am not sure what the future holds.

Nope, not an inverter. Pretty amazing for not being an inverter. I am putting it through some tests to see how it holds up, and I'll report back.

Glad it worked as advertised.  You didn't mention whether or not you tried the A/C.  Enjoy your new generator.  We have yet to fire up ours, but heading out on the 23rd.  We'll see.  Safe Travels.
