Hello, we are Allen & Rose and a very warm welcome to RV Field Trip!
Thank you for all your tips really helping us a lot since we are newbies we just bought a rv back in October 2023 n we just took it out this past weekend for the 1st time yaaay , thank you guys so much for all your videos n tips
First of all congratulations on your new RV, we hope your first time out was fun and not too stressful, although the stresses of your first time out makes for great conversation LOL, rose and I thank you very much for commenting and we hope to see you next time
We had the 3500 for 2 years now, we agree with you never had a problem yet, it's super quiet, great video guys
I agree it is extremely quiet videos do not do it justice whatsoever, when we first purchased ours and turned it on we were both amazed on how quiet it was, I'm glad to hear yours has it caused you any problems they are well built, thank you for watching my friend and we'll see you next week
I just got my geni and I can't wait to get my first trip out of the way .
Congratulations on your new generator, sounds like you're pretty excited to try it out for the first time you won't be disappointed in it, Ben we thank you for commenting and watching the video hopefully we'll see you next time
That’s a great review. You’re right. They have gotten pretty expensive. We got ours in 2019 on Black Friday. It’s an etrailer one and we for a great deal. Can’t remember now what wattage ours is. Believe 3200. But we don’t have water heater. But it does great running our portable ac and coffee pot at the same time. Does well running ac and roaster oven or our table top electric stove. It’s great. Ours is pretty quiet. Though it always sounds louder on video and some have made snide comments that it’s very loud. It really isn’t. And we tend to keep it in the back of the truck to cut down even more on the sound. We’ve used ours during power outage too. Haha we aren’t name brand peeps either. I love that you’re frugal. Jessie is extremely frugal on most things. Really nice review. Predator was actually one of the gens we looked at. Probably would have had one if not for the etrailer one going on sale.
Yeah ours ran pretty much everything without a hiccup or problems, when rose purchased it it was on sale I think it was $100 off the regular price, me personally I couldn't make up my decision on which one I was going to get and rose got tired of listening to me and just went out and purchased the harbor freight, thank you for the compliment and I truly always look forward to your comments thank you so very much and have a great week guys
Thank you. I think I’ve made my decision. I’m getting one for our RV. God bless
We are glad we could help with your decision, thank you for commenting and God bless you as well
Great video but please make sure you keep the generator a safe distance away from the RV
Thank you, and you're absolutely right a safe distance and well ventilated area
Based on your experience you can run pretty much everything but can’t run the microwave and water heater? I don’t see those two usually running at the same time for most people. Sounds like it’s a great system. Predator just came out with a 5000 watt for $100 more than the 3500. I Might consider going that route.
Yes you're correct it does run everything but the microwave and water heater, it will run the water heater and the microwave as long as you don't have a bunch of stuff on at the same time, also when we use it we put the water heater on gas and just use the microwave when the AC is not on, I hope this helps you on your decision and let us know which one you decide to go with, thank you for commenting
I have a onboard Cummins Onan generator with my trailer. But I am currently looking for a power inverter to convert battery power to 110 when not connected to power. I also have a solar panels on my roof.
We are definitely not glampers but we also don't find ourselves boondocking as much as we would like we are more of state parks national parks that have electric hookups, we had thought of getting solar panels when we start boondocking more often, that's when we can justify the expense of installing solar panels on our roof, but until then the generator has worked out for us extremely well when we are boondocking, we would love to go solar sounds like when we are ready I need to contact you answer my ideas, James-bo1uu, once again I wanna thank you for commenting and your ideas hopefully we talk more often
Good review! Sounds like an excellent generator! TFS friends. Merri :)
Thank you very much for the compliment, yes it is a great inverter generator, thank you for commenting and stopping by
LOL ! Yes it was stressful not going to lie about that 😂
That's great we have all been there, it's going to make a great remember when story about your first RV trip out, I know I would enjoy listening to it and yes my first time out was stressful also, first time out had a tire blowout , didn't remember a thing that our salesperson told us we needed to do LOL, also the campsite was right next to about 10 people watching me, rose got food poisoning, and that's just mentioning a couple things, maybe one day you'll Share your story, thank you my friend for commenting again looking forward to talking to you soon
You guys are adorable, loved the video. Thank you
Well thank you very much kylehill4437, can we thank you for watching the video and commenting
What is the run time under load with full tank of gasoline
Under a full load running everything in the RV we've been lasting about 9 hours if not a little longer on one tank, I hope this answers your question have a good day

Thank you Paraiso Sensorial, glad to have you as a new friend to the channel, and thank you very much for the compliment
Great Content! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the compliment Justin T, we just hope it helps other people I'm making their decision on a inverter generator, thank you for commenting Justin
Do you have 2 ac's? Or just 1?
We have two AC's but just run the 1 15000 btu ac, never had the need to run both
That a flagstaff 26fks?
brandonwls, yes it is goodbye, do you have one or know someone that has one, we love ours
@RV Field Trip awesome ! Currently looking at one, does yours come equipped with 2 a/c making it a 50 amp? If so, will this generator run both at the same time if turned on separately
@@XxbrandonxX234 yes mine has two AC's, I've never tried to run both a/c with the generator I believe it would if you installed soft starts on your AC's
Buy solar panels or go plug into a KOA. I don’t want your noise pollution anywhere near me!!!
They barely make any noise at all.
@@DP-Dignity don’t be stupid…
OK Thank you
@@RVFieldTrip okay then, you seal yourself up in an air conditioned Rv with your generator running for everyone else around you forced to listen to it drone on….that is somehow friendly? Don’t set up next to me. Don’t do it.
@@Doc.Holiday we happened to use it majority of the time after we get hit by hurricanes so far in the last few years I've had to use it three times for hurricanes, also where we camp there are no other campers around us, so yes we seal ourselves up N air conditioning camper, have a great day and thank you for commenting
