New Member - generator question

Hey Kos, I can totally relate to trying to save some money on the generator and therefore looking into the Firman. May I suggest perhaps looking into a different brand with some reviews? From the sounds of it you are looking for something around the 2000W mark that is affordable, quiet, lightweight and durable/ comes with a warrantee. I would suggest checking out the Westinghouse 2400i Explorer Series. It meets all your criteria (I believe there is a warrantee but maybe double check on that).  I found this website really helpful;

I think since you want to boondock, a generator will be your best answer. When your batteries run low how are you going to charge them without power? The two things you consume most (at least I do) when boondocking are water and electricity. The waterpump uses power, the furnace, the ceiling fan, and your breathing machine. I'm not familiar with the brand generator you're considering so I can't comment on that. I have a Champion and so far no problems. It will run the microwave, or the air conditioner, hairdryer, charge the batteries, or any other item that is electric and it is not noisey.

I have the same Honda, plus the "Honda Companion". I had to run them both to run my AC on the Jayco 30A..assume I will also on the R-pod? You're right, great, and quiet generators, worth the $2000.

Whatever option you choose, be be mindful of your camping neighbors. For me, nothing is more annoying than neighbors who are oblivious to the peace and quiet their neighbors may be seeking. That may be loud parties, uncontrolled barking dogs or loud (or any) generators running all day long.
