The primer button would help with startup but not with steady state high altitude running. Sounds like Hutch Mtn doesn’t provide for any mixture adjustments. You might want to ask them.

I don’t think there will be a startup problem with the Easystart installed. Mine always starts the a/c just fine. I have experienced generator tripping with the Honda 2k after running the a/c for awhile on a hot day, but that was because I had other loads on or hadn’t properly adjusted the mixture for altitude. Once I turned those off and adjusted the demand regulator it handled things ok.

You have 10% more rated capacity than I do, but in reality maybe more like 20% to compensate for altitude. I could hear my engine rpm dropping under load prior to the gen tripping, so I know it was engine limited not inverter limited. Your engine has 20% higher volumetric capacity than mine does. The gen is only rated 10% higher so I would guess (could be wrong) that it’s now limited by the inverter rather than the engine, at sea level anyway. Since the inverter section is not effected by altitude you should have that additional 20% capacity available to compensate for altitude. That would take you up to around 8000 feet altitude or so, if you could adjust the mixture.

See attached chart.

The Hutch Mtn kit says that you may encounter problems at higher elevations.   there is a primer button on the demand regulator that can be depressed several times if necessary to add additional propane into the carb. Normally, you depress the primer only once before you start the generator.

Same setup I have except for the newer generation Honda (mine is the 2k). Works well at least up to about 4000 ft elevation, which covers the East. In the West I’m not sure how well it would do under really hot, high elevation conditions. With the Century Fuels propane kit you can adjust the demand regulator for elevation, can you do that with the Hutch Mtn one?]]> Thu, 25 Mar 2021 10:41:34 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=141068#141068 Inverter/Generator : Thanks for all the information.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=141067#141067 Author: EchoGale

Great Vann. I am happy to hear that. We will be heading to Florida shortly, but only for a week and we have a reservation at an RV park, so I likely won't need the generator for this trip. However, we will be heading west this summer, and the generator to run the AC will likely come in very handy.]]> Wed, 24 Mar 2021 21:59:24 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=141062#141062 Inverter/Generator : I love it when a plan comes together!... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=141060#141060 Author: podwerkz

Here is the update for my new generator and pertinent info to pas on relative to this post--
I purchased the Honda 2200, a Hutch Mountain Propane Conversion kit and a MicroAire easy start. We have just spent 3 weeks in Florida at a variety of camping options.  I can say that the Honda powered by propane will definitely run the A/C at Florida's elevation without problems on eco mode.
I carried a standard 20# propane tank nestled tightly in a plastic dairy crate in the back of our expedition.  I never smelled propane.
I'm happy with the total package

NFPA requires propane cylinders to be transported upright and secured. So plastic milk crates, flat floors and tie downs, or the equivalent are required. Up to 4 lb cylinders don’t have to be upright. You can transport up to 90 lbs of propane (cylinder capacity) in an enclosed vehicle. Max cylinder size is 45lbs. Up to 420 lbs in an open truck bed if you ever needed that much. You often see “requirements” for keeping the trunk lid open and stuff like that but those are just some company’s recommendations, not regulatory as far as I can find. Of course, a dual propane RV mount would be best if you can stand the tongue weight.]]> Wed, 24 Mar 2021 16:15:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=141048#141048 Inverter/Generator : It's helpful to hear how... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=141044#141044 Author: EchoGale

You don’t want gasoline inside an SUV. Stinky. Also I like running the generator on propane because I only need to carry one type of fuel which can work on both the gen and rpod appliances. Simpler that way.

I find that I usually need several pulls when starting my Honda 2k on propane. The reason is that you still have to get the air/fuel mixture right to get a start, and if you turn on the propane and wait too long to pull you will have too much fuel, if you pull too early you won’t have enough. A couple of pulls clears it. It’s not hard to pull though, but for sure you should try before you buy to be sure you are comfortable with the force involved.

The alternative of a big heavy generator is a non starter for anyone with back issues so an Easystart is a requirement if you want to run the a/c reliably. If you’re not running the a/c a single propane cylinder will last a long time running the trailer and generator, if you are running the a/c you can go through a cylinder in a day so will want at least 2.

Yes, I should have mentioned that the primary reason that gasoline these days gums up is because of the way that ethanol (gasohol, E-10, etc) attracts water into the gasoline when it sits in a vented (open to the atmosphere) tank, gas can, or, carburetor.

A sealed gas can with NO pressure venting is a 'must have' for fueling your genset, especially if you can't find pure gas locally wherever you are. 

And if you can find it, buy PURE gasoline, usually stated as 'NO ETHANOL' or 'ETHANOL FREE' on the pump. It will generally cost a bit more. Put this gasoline in a sealed gas can...use it for small engines like lawnmowers and generators, and you should also keep a can of Seafoam or Startron for those times when you can't find the pure gas.

There is at least one website that helps you find pure gasoline:

www.pure-gas.org

Also, if you are using gasoline, always get ethanol-free gasoline. It costs a bit more, but it is worth the extra price. Also, always add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline (Sta-Bil brand or equivalent) when you buy the gasoline. It will really help if there are extended times between starts. 

The reason for not using gasoline with ethanol is that ethanol attracts water. When combined, it can seriously gum up the carburetor jets. I have had to replace the carburetor on more than one small engine where ethanol gasoline had been used. Since switching to ethanol-free gasoline and using stabilizer, I have not had any problems.

Starting fluid is only for gasoline (or diesel) fueled generators, not propane fueled generators. 

That's the short, simple answer...but if you want more info...here ya go:

Operating a genset on propane you should not need to ever use starting fluid (ether) since the very reason for using starting fluid is often due to a gasoline fueled genset which has been sitting and the gasoline in the carburetor bowl is a bit thick (sludge may have formed), OR the needle jets (main or pilot or both) in the carburetor are plugged, or the carb float is stuck, or the fuel line or the filter screen in the petcock is blocked.

In other words, fueling issues. (sometimes air intake or compression issues but that is another topic) 

(BTW: Starting fluid is a 'tool' used to diagnose and or help with starting a small gasoline or diesel engine by squirting it into the aircleaner box or air intake during (or right before) pulling the cord or pushing a start button)

On propane you should not have 'fueling' issues...if you have propane hooked up and the valves turned on, you will have fuel...now, you could have ignition failures, it's possible, but, starting fluid wont help with that (other than you will know you have an ignition failure!) And there is no liquid propane that will be 'going bad' while 'sitting' in the carburetor anyway....it can't! It is 'injected' under pressure thru a separate orifice after passing thru the regulator, it does not enter the carb float bowl, and does not enter the intake airstream the same way that gasoline is taken in. 

Think of a propane-fueled genset as if it was running on 'starting fluid' all the time!

Ah...I now understand why there was this cut-off in size below which there were no electric start options. The small ones are definitely marketed on their weight so I see why they'd cut that since most people won't care--though that bluetooth Honda is pretty neat. Same way laptops lost their cd drives.

I'd like to now more about how to use staring fluid to start it. Can you do that when you are operating on propane?

Colonel Podder: thanks for the tip about in-stock options at Camping World.  The closest one is a ways for me but I'm going to try to make it over there. I might do this soon but I might not do it until the end of summer so If  you buy it I'd be interested to know what you find.

Thanks again, folks.

It's a bit of a trade-off. For a given wattage, the pull-start units will usually weigh a bit less, since they wont have a battery and a starter motor.

As far as pull starting effort, it's not a LOT of work, unless you find that you need to keep at it to get the genset started. In that case I will use starting fluid. The new units normally start easily, but if you let one sit un-used for a few months it can be difficult to get it started, and sometimes starting fluid (ether) can help.

But in most cases, you can start a generator with 1-3 'sharp' pulls of the cord.

The Camping World location here locally has them in stock. They had one out of the box and it is easy to handle compared to the 100lb models. Even if they don't have the dual fuel model, the 2500 gas model will be the same in weight and starting, so you can get an idea how it would work for you. But I bet you would not have any trouble starting the 2500 series. 

I'm planning the same as you, Champion 2500 dual fuel, and add the easy start if needed. Which I expect it will probably be needed. But I'm not purchasing it through Camping World, much better prices at other retailers.

The Firman dual-fuel generator I purchased has electric start. That is really nice. I'm thinking that I can rig up a ramp or hoist to help get it in and out of the back of the truck if I can't find help to lift it. It is heavy. Not having gasoline in it saves a few pounds.

If you have to use a manual rope-start, if you an pull the rope on a lawnmower, you should be able to pull the rope on a small generator. Put one hand against the generator to brace it and keep it from shifting, then pull the rope with the other hand.

Hi Folks, 

I'm going way back to the original 2020 post in this thread about the Champion 2500 dual fuel generator. Has anyone since had experience with this? I'm looking at it and hoping it might run my a/c but I am prepared to have an easy start installed if it can't start it.

I've learned from the thread why lighter generators are less powerful but I have to balance that with whether I can lift it in and out of my SUV. 

I am anxious about the pull start but none of these smaller ones seem to have electric start.  Will it be hard for me to start it? I've never done that before and can't really tell how much strength it takes. (internet guys seems to pull all their weight into it too lol).

Any other things I should be considering?

Julie

I changed the oil at 5 hours (first oil change, per manual) and then continued to run and test the new genset powering my r-pod and its systems for the next 4 hours till it ran out of gas...I had only put about 1 1/2 gallons of gas in the tank to begin testing, so it ran for about 9 hours total (per the built-in meter) on less than 2 gallons. 

The load was varied from light (only the converter/charger powered on) to about 50% (A/C running and water heater electric on and electric space heater on and converter/charger on).

So far, so good....after break-in I would expect it to do a really good job for me!

My experience with my Honda 2k is that its really pretty loud when running at full load. Most of the noise comes from the exhaust. In eco mode at low rpm it is quiet, but running a high load like the a/c I doubt there’s really much difference between an open frame constant rpm genny and a “quiet” inverter generator. ]]> Sun, 21 Mar 2021 18:18:46 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=140969#140969 Inverter/Generator : I am breaking in... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=140958#140958 Author: podwerkz

I am breaking in a brand new Champion open frame inverter generator as we speak. 

It has about 3 hours on it so far...It is lighter and more efficient than my OTHER big-honkin Champion genset...and this one will also start and run the r-pod rooftop A/C no problem.

It is open frame tho, so while it is easier to lift and drag around, it is NOT quiet. It is a bit less noisy than my OTHER big-honkin Champion genset, but it is certainly noisier than my small 1000w inverter generator...(the blue one in the background) as one might expect. It does run at low speed most of the time...it surges just a bit when the A/C compressor kicks in but then settles back to almost normal low speed...which will presumably save gas. I like that it is rated to run about 22 hours on a 4 gallon tankful at 25% load. We will see!

I got a good price on it, and it takes up less room than my OTHER big-honkin Champion genset...and that OTHER big-honkin Champion genset will now be my home backup genset...we have frequent power outages here due to a variety of factors...life in the country on an electric co-op!

I can actually lift this new one onto the tailgate of my truck without busting a gut! So far, I like it!

In electronics we sometimes use 'inrush' current protection to extend the life of sensitive components. I would be very surprised if a test was conducted and the EasyStart did not extend the life of a compressor, start capacitor, and associated relays and such.
Of course, it's cost is around a third to a half of a new rooftop A/C so the argument might be moot.



+1. Just take out the Easystart and return the a/c to its original status if you have a warranty claim. The Easystart itself will make things “easier” for the a/c not harder. As for the price tag on the Easystart, if your back doesn’t want to deal with a 100 lb genny (whose does?) and you want a/c boondocking then you need it and it’s worth it’s price. Dometic could solve this problem themselves by updating their a/c to a modern high efficiency variable speed compressor system like everyone else uses now but they choose instead to stick with 40-50 year old technology. If that creates an opportunity for MicroAir to be paid to meet an unmet need in the market it’s certainly not their fault (I have no affiliation with them BTW other than that I like their product).]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2021 19:00:13 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=140498#140498 Inverter/Generator : Even IF the EasyStart voids... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14054&PID=140491#140491 Author: podwerkz

Even IF the EasyStart voids the warranty (not sure that it does and you can always remove it...just sayin) I would generally assume that an EasyStart would probably extend the useful life of an A/C unit simply because it gets the moving parts moving with less 'jolt'.

In electronics we sometimes use 'inrush' current protection to extend the life of sensitive components. I would be very surprised if a test was conducted and the EasyStart did not extend the life of a compressor, start capacitor, and associated relays and such.

Of course, it's cost is around a third to a half of a new rooftop A/C so the argument might be moot.

Thanks for the info and explanation. I can understand this a little better now. 

The Easy start is something I have considered. However my camper is new and I'm fairly certain this would void any warranty on the A/C unit? So this makes the decision a little harder. 

Thanks again!
