The Best Budget Portable Generator? So Good Should Be Illegal! (Wen 56235i)
When shopping for a generator and backup power I look for: quality, price, sound levels, and size. The Wen 56235i 2350W has it all. Backed by over 2300 4.5 star reviews, 1/3 the price of Honda generators, compact, and only 51 decibels!

My new Wen Generator
I finally broke down and bought a generator. Visit my post to find out what changed and why now is the time to power up your camper.
WEN 56200i Generator 1 year review.
In this episode we review the WEN 56200i inverter generator.
WEN Generator
15A to 30A pigtail
Boeshield T9
We were in the market for a 2000W inverter generator about a year ago. We looked at the Yamaha and Honda options but thought $1000.00 was a bit steep. Then we stumbled upon the WEN 56200i. This generator boasted the same running and peak wattage 1600/2000 as the Honda and Yamaha generators but costs about half as much. We were a little apprehensive about the purchase believing you usually get what you pay for, but we were pleasantly surprised with the WEN 56200i. This generator comes with an Eco-Mode that can adjust the RPMs based upon the electrical load. It is also capable of parallel connections with a Parallel Kit allowing you to hook up another generator if you need larger electrical capacity. This is a Pure Sine Wave system allowing you to hook up your sensitive electronics without worry.
This system is fairly quiet at anchor and the 8 hour run time on a tank of gas could allow you to run it throughout the night. It will get up to about 60 decibels at peak power which is comparable to the Honda or Yamaha. We do usually turn it off if we are near other cruisers, just to be courteous but we have gone to sleep with it on.
We use a pigtail in one of the two three-prong 120V receptacles and a jumper in the other. The jumper allows the system to no fault for the reverse polarity indicator on our AC panel. The pigtail gets plugged into our shore power cord and the boat. This allows all of our outlets and any other AC powered systems in the boat to get power. There is also a 12V DC receptacle and a 5V USB Port if you need more hookups at the generator.
The WEN 56200i also has several safety features to keep the system running smoothly. The Overload Protection, Low-Oil Shutdown, and Low Fuel Shutdown help ensure you won’t damage your generator or run it completely out of fuel.
While this is a portable generator you want to make sure you have room to store it on your boat. It measures 18X11X18 and weighs just under 50lbs making it a little hard to store on a small sailboat. Lisa made a Sunbrella cover to keep it out of the direct sunlight while it’s on the deck. We also disassembled the generator and prepped it for the marine environment using high-temperature paint and Boeshield T-9 to keep corrosion at bay.
We have a 12,500 BTU AC and heat system aboard Starjewel. This generator has enough power to run the air conditioner and charge phones, computers, and the battery bank. However, it did not have enough power to start the compressor every time. We installed a SUPCO Hard Start capacitor to our air conditioner. This allows us to run our AC and almost anything else aside from the microwave at the same time. This little capacitor has really expanded our comfort at anchor in the winter and summer.

The Cheap Way to Upgrade Your Solar Generator Capacity: REDODO LiFePo4 vs expensive add-on battery
This is the cheapest way to add capacity to your Solar Generator. Connect it to a Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery. There are some benefits to buying the expensive add-on batteries from the Solar Generator company, but this hack is by far the cheapest way to double, triple or quadruple your capacity.

how to extend generator exhaust
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.

WEN 2000 INVERTER GENERATOR INITIAL REVEIW (2019)
My initial thoughts on the WEN inverter generator purchased from the Home Depot. Generator was ordered online and sent to the store for pick up. The front of the case was damaged and broken and not sure if the damage was from the factory or the shipping but did not hinder the start up and use of the generator. If i had time i would have sent it back for an undamage one but i was days away from my trip that i needed it on and was afraid that the home depot could not deliver. So if Home Depot is listening i would like one that didn't have factory/shipping damage just saying.

Honda 2000i Generator | Product Review | Quiet Generator for Full Time RV Life
The Honda 2000 generator is one of the most used generators by RVers. It is quiet and energy efficient. The generator can run up to 8 hours on just one tank of gas!
Honda 2000:
Comprable Generators:
Briggs & Stratton 2200w:
Generac 2000w:
Yamaha 1600w:
The Honda 2000i is a lightweight generator with 2000 watts of power. It runs off of gasoline but, with a converter kit, can also run with natural gas. At an operating sound level of 53-59dcb, the generator is super quiet as well.
We've been using our Honda 2000 for over a year and love its portability and functionality. On a hot summer day it has enough power to run our rooftop AC unit. As avid boondockers, we can top off our batteries every night while getting 8 hours of operation time with a single gallon of gas.
Overall this generator has been an essential piece of equipment in our full time RV life.

How we use our RV Power Inverter to Power Everything in our Travel Trailer | The Savvy Campers
Here is our course on inspecting new and used travel trailers:
In this video we share how we install and run our RV power inverter. This simple way allows you to simply hook up your 12v power to your inverter and run everything in your trailer as if you were connected to shore power. We did not hardware the 110v side as we don't know how long we will keep this trailer and want to make it easy to switch to a new one.
Support us on Patreon:
Make sure to turn off your charger so you don't try and charge your batteries through your inverter.
Our Lion Energy batteries provide great power to our inverter and we can run our microwave, tv, coffee pot, and everything we would ever want.
We have the Go Wise 2,000 watt inverter and it works for all our needs with power to spare.
