Honda 2000 vs Champion 2000 Inverter Generator Comparison
The Honda 2000 watt inverter generator is the gold standard of inverter generators. Many companies have been releasing their own version to compete with Honda. We just purchased a new Champion 2000 watt inverter generator and decided to compare it with my father in laws Honda. The units are very similar and run in parallel with another 2000 watt unit. When paralleled they can put out near 3700 watts to power your entire RV.

Champion 2000 Watt Generator/ Inverter: Unboxing and Setup
We finally bought us a generator. It is the 2000 watt Champion Generator. It is the quiet run style. We bought it because it was so much less than the comparable Honda 2000 watt generator. This generator can be hooked up to a 2nd unit and double your wattage for running your generators. Click the link below and it will take you directly to our amazon affiliate account.

This video is a sound test of Honda EU3000 vs Champion 2800 watt inverter generators. We used a decibel meter to log what the sound levels were at various times. The generators were tested using a 1725 watt 2 PVC heater. This provided a constant and equal load.

AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage – only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on YouTube are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!
How to Install an Hour Meter on Small Gas Powered Engines, Generators, Lawn Mowers
How to Install an Hour Meter on Small Gas Powered Engines, Generators, Lawn Mowers
Sharon, one of the Two Tired Teachers, shows viewers how easy it is to install an hour meter on a generator. To get started with the project, you first need to decide where you want to hour meter to be. Closer to the spark plug will be better because you have to run a tiny wire through where you drill.
I used rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the area. I also cleaned the back of the meter in order to mount with the double sided tape on that.
If you are reading, skip ahead two paragraphs to save yourself some of the headaches I had when mounting the hour meter.
You need to remove the boot for the spark plug. Because you will be dealing with such tight quarters, I suggest you do as I did and remove the side panel too. The directions tell you to wrap the cord that comes with the meter around the spark plug wire 5 times at approximately4 centimeters from the boot.
Once you've wrapped the cord around the spark plug wire, then you tighten it around with a zip tie. Remember that you don't want the zip tie to touch the engine so that when the engine is hot it won't damage the meter. Replace the boot on the spark plug. Now you are ready to drill the hole where the wire will be fed up to the meter.
It's at this point, I made my mistake. I tried to feed the wire up to the meter. WRONG! I had secured the cord from the meter to the wire from the spark plug, and I had it just where I wanted it, but I wasted a lot of time trying to feed the cord up to the meter. It would have been much easier to slip the cord down to the spark plug wire.
Once you have the meter and cord on the outside of the generator, you will put the cord through the channel that's on the back of the meter. I used a flat head screwdriver to be sure the cord is in there tightly and removed the protective tape from the hour meter. That leaves your meter mounted with the double sided tape that was under the protective tape. For right now, that is all I'm using to secure the meter to the generator. If I need to, I can drill holes and attach the meter with screws.
With the excess cord inside the generator, fold it and use another zip tie to be sure it stays together and it won't get next to the engine. Now you are ready to see if it works. When you crank the generator and have it on, the hour indicator is flashing, and that lets you know it's getting a signal. Every six minutes the meter will show that it's been running for 1 tenth of an hour.
This is a super simple thing to do, and if your generator doesn't come with an hour meter, you might want to install one.

Ryobi 900 Watt Propane Generator.......Quick Test May 2018
Model Ryobi RYi911LP, $225-300. Purchased from Home Depot. First run and test. 4 month review. Have run about 100 hours and all is well. Awesome to run with propane and not bother with gasoline. You'll kill a small engine if you run the crappy ethanol gas for any length of time. The safety issues are huge in a small RV. Propane is way less $$$$ than gas and easily moved and will store for many years without going bad.
