Must Have for Your RV, Portable Generator, Honda Review EU2200i, EU2000i, EU1000i

Now that we have been RV Living Full Time for 6 months, we have found what products we truly need. One of them is a generator- whether you have solar or not.
We purchased our Honda EU2000i generator 16 years ago as Hurricane Charley was approaching our home in Central Florida. It kept us powered up for a week while our power was out. Since then it has gotten us through many extended power outages because of hurricanes. When we bought our First travel trailer in 2011, our honda generator was the perfect companion for our RV so we could dry camp.
In this video we will share our 16 year experience with this generator and its successor the EU2200i generator. We will cover these topics Important specifications, Maintenance, Storage, Connecting to an RV, extension cords, fuel cans, using it with a solar setup, and our overall 16 year impression.
We will also go over the baby brother to the EU2000/EU2200, the EU1000i generator and how that may be an excellent option.
If you are looking for portable generator, the Honda line of generators cant be beat, but they are not the cheapest generator on the market, you get what you pay for.

RV Generators and what we learned

#retrorvrecon
RV Generators and what we learned.
In this video we go over how Hurricane Ida taught us which of the three portable generators that we tried is best for our 30amp Retro RV. We tested the Honda EU2200I, Honda EU3000IS and the Champion 3650W. We show starting each generator and compare the noise levels. We discuss which of the three portable generators is best to power our camper at home and while camping.
Check out the video and tell us what you think, we would like to hear other experiences.

RVers and generators that run off propane go hand in hand. An RV always has propane on hand so why carry around a can of gas if you don't need to? Unfortunately, Honda does not offer a dual fuel inverter generator. So for us Honda lovers, the only option is to take matters in to our own hands and install a propane conversion kit.
The Tri-fuel Conversion Kit through Hutch Mountain is by far the best propane conversion kit available for the EU2200i and EU2000i models. It is OEM quality, easy to install, and allows simple switching between gasoline and propane.

Honda EU2200i Generator RV Load TEST & REVIEW

First Test with a new Honda EU2200i Inverter Generator. Threw all I could at it, kept on ticking, took the licking. AndroVid_join_6766

Run Your Air Conditioner with Solar and Honda EU2200i Generator

Yes! You can run your air conditioner with solar and propane generator if needed. A soft start device is recommended too.

We are on a 2 month summer trip and stopped overnight at a Harvest Host...Stensland Family Farms in Iowa. I decided to whip out the generator to help compensate for end of day solar and to help run air conditioner longer.

Honda EU2200i Generator and Grenergy Propane Kit Conversion How-to

This is my step by step how-to video showing a Honda EU2200i generator being converted to run on propane. I used a propane conversion kit from Grenergy. Check out the video to watch how I did it!

Overall, the install was fairly straight forward. Lots of steps...just do them right...and in order. I filmed a load test afterwards, but I removed it from the video. Rest assured, this setup rocks! I had the heat gun on half load for a couple hours, then bumped up a few more hours, then ran on high (1500w) for another hour. No issues at all!!!

Predator vs Honda - The ONE difference!

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.

Why I chose the Honda EU2200i Generator

I'm a full-time RVer. My goal is to enjoy this great country and to see as much as I can. Although I'm from the northeast, my plan is to head south and west. And like so many other nomads, I'll move my home as weather changes. Join me on my adventures.

Construction generator vs Honda inverter EU2200i. How far away can you hear them?

Camping inverter generators can be drastically quiter than open frame construction generators. Have you ever wondered if your camping neighbors can hear your generator?

Honda EU22i Generator - The Full Review

For years, Honda have led the way in power generators, especially when it comes to the camping and caravan industry.

READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE:

In the five years we have been travelling full time on the road, without doubt the most common generator we have seen pulled out of many a caravan is the Honda EU20i unit. It’s small, powerful, quiet and very very reliable.

And now, after 15 years, Honda have improved on the EU20 model, with the brand new EU22i model. As mentioned, they recently gave us one to try out so we could see firsthand the improvements and compare it to the EU20i.
