Has anyone bought one/have any comments etc?
Good or bad?
Just starting out out (again) as grey caravanners this time. Never had a generator before.
The question you ask comes up once every few weeks, and if you search on the forum (search in the top bar) you will find lots of good advice, some people have Fuji or another of the cheaper "generic" brands, others with premium brands like Honda and Yamaha. All have people who have bought them, and had a trouble free run, then there are the horror stories.
I would say there are generally less horror stories about the premium brands, but they do cost three of four times as much. I know I have been watching looking for something to help me make up my mind as well. One of the key factors for me is going to be noise level, and again, the premium brands appear to be fractionally ahead.
I would suggest doing the search, and reading what has already been posted. There is lots of it, and it is generally relevant.
Also look closely at the reputation of the seller on evil bay, there are probably more horror stories about them than the generators.
sound similar to the tomahawk brand 4.4 i brought recently
i am quite pleased with mine. it runs everything i want it to, and more
a lot of the advertisement is just that , advertisement . lightweight (mine is 28 kilo)
not the easiest to move around.silent (yeah right) as long as you position i right you can live with it
i thought i was on apar with some name brads i have heard in various camps
electric start is great but you have to remember to turn the switch off after use although it will start very easliy on the pull start
the wheels are useless except on solid ground.
if i had to buy another one i would buy a 2kva because its lighter and except for the abilitie to run the a/c will do what i want
buy with an open mind and believe only half of the advertising bulls**t

Just had my second generator form ebay go to heaven after a short period of running very well, so she who knows better insisted I buy a Honda 2kva which had a 5 year warranty and peace of mind $1699 from generator world with warranty, cover ,security chain and it also runs the aircon It was delivered to Clermont Qld in 3 days, so service was excellent No involvement with Co Ken
Smart move by SWMBO Ken, anyone thinking of buying a generator and can afford it go with one of the name brands, less tears in the long run.

Just wondered though, as it is something that we will only be using 'once in a while', is it worth it to pay $2k for a ripper one or $600 for one off Evil bay that will, as I said, only be used occasionally?
We went shopping today to 'fit out' the van. Nothing excessive or indulgant - too small for that. But all those bits and pieces add up as you all would know.
We are grey 'campers', only going away occasionally and only needing a generator every now and again. I just find it hard to justify spending $2k on a gennie that will only be used maybe 3 - 4 times a year?
However, as the last time we owned a campervan was about 12 years ago (when our kids were young kids) things have changed (we never had a generator then) and now as grey campers (well, one grey camper and me) we are more than welcome to accept all advice

Yep. I also bought a honda, little ripper, runs everything, including at home where I get regular power cuts. Got a good deal, $1,599 with all the extras. I goggled the honda site and waited for a sale, and then hassled them a wee bit more. That was a year ago.
And let me tell you, the genny has saved me and my dogs in 38+ degree arvo's with the sun beating down while free camping. Not to mention fridge/ freezer contents at home.
For me a good investment.
Oh, and it has leads incase of a flat car battery
we have had a Honda 2 for a few years now and although it does not get used as much these days with the solar on the roof I have found that when it was needed it was a godsend.
would not go away without it.

I was the same, get one off ebay as only wanted it to charge batteries if solar was not enough, but in the end it packed up when it was needed, so if you can afford it go the honda

My argument against buying cheap Ken.
If it has a major melt down and your in the middle of who knows where, your stuck, no generator to do what it's supposed to do and 30+ kilo's of dead weight to carry for the rest of your trip.
Having said that, we travel without a generator and do very nicely on solar alone.
A friend and I bought a 20i each at a garage sale a few years ago for $800 each and they both had had very little use, now I dunno about my mates genny but mine has only been used once in over 20000k and then only because we wanted to give it a run and do the washing away from the motorhome (Beside the tap).. We still carry ours but like others we have ample solar for our requirements so it is just there incase..lol I sometimes wonder if we really need to carry it but continue to do so..."Just in case"..lol
Ohhh and to answer your question... buy one that WILL be there for you when you want it..

What is the justification for wanting to have a generator with you? What appliances will be unusable without it, and what would be the consequences or necessary alternative arrangements? How far from civilisation will you be?
