That my also be my go to now that my Baja died and back to running my eu2000i.
What happened to Baja?That my also be my go to now that my Baja died and back to running my eu2000i.
Does anyone know how hard would it be to run this propane gen on natural gas?I just got one of these yesterday. It's quiet enough for me to talk over it in a normal voice, light enough to carry, and the fact that it takes propane right out of the box was a huge selling point. Propane doesn't spoil. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a 12 volt power port, but my 12v loads are bigger than the usual 10a limit anyway.

I’m not knowledgeable in this area.However, “how hard” is probably not the right question or at least maybe not the whole question.Does anyone know how hard would it be to run this propane gen on natural gas?
I have the 3400 watt dual fuel champion ...just got back from a 3 month 8300 mile trip...I have never run it on gas just propane... Runs my rv AC when I need it and is very quiet... Sips the propane.... Would definitely purchase again..Another vote for champion or Honda. My dual fuel champion has the gas cap tapped shut. It will never see gas. Highly recommend propane. No stink, no mess. Even smells good when it runs.
Don’t know it just started running like poop. Changed the spark plug and no difference. Called the company since its still under warranty and got no results. I then called home depot and explained what had happed. They told me bring it back for a full refund. So that’s where I’m at now.What happened to Baja?
This looks interesting I’ve never seen it before ?In my research I found the largest pure sine wave generator available to me was the champion 7000/8750 watt gasoline only. I store 50 gallons of ethanol free with stabilizer and run it for ten minutes once a month
Predator makes a solid generator. The Honda snobs can disagree, but it doesn’t make it any less true.I've had predator 3500s for years, since they came out and were $589 with a coupon. No issues at all.
I’m a Honda snob but have a Predator 4K also. The eu wouldn’t run my well pump.Predator makes a solid generator. The Honda snobs can disagree, but it doesn’t make it any less true.
Inverter generators have their place for sure. But in my systems, I tend to use the battery bank as a buffer and only engage the gen when surplus power is needed for short periods - so a straight gen is the best fit for me in most cases. I do have a little 2000 eu for occasional float charging though.I’m a Honda snob but have a Predator 4K also. The eu wouldn’t run my well pump.
Harbor freight has more expensive items:I wouldn't be able to bring myself to spend $2k on a Harbor Freight generator. I can get a heck of a used generator for that price.
Likewise spending $5k+ on a Honda 7000i. That's Kubota Low Boy diesel territory.
I didn’t realize.Harbor freight has more expensive items
I get the impression that's it's designed for the homeowner who won't hire a guy to dig a hole.I didn’t realize.
That looks like I could wreck it in an afternoon. Just looks light duty.
