Re: Honda EU2000i Generator Review
Got my own Honda EU2000i generator today and my No Spill gas can and all the misc doodads,, It took abut 10 pulls on the first times to start the thing, but as of far, it's a great, super quiet genny, I put a magnetic dipstick in there to catch shavings, which are going to happen. I also installed a Hardline Tach/Hour meter, which was a lot easier on the Honda than the Smarter Tools Genny I had. Gassed up a with a little Sta-bil gas protectant, also put in 10/w 30 synthetic oil and will...

Sounds like you have a good one. I know it isn't the least expensive but it is hard to argue with the quality and reliability of the Honda. It should give you many years of service. Linn & Sun

Re: Honda EU2000i Generator Review
I recently sold another type of small motor Honda that has been beat on, neglected, and abused in harsh environments for over 30 years! (Only about 10 years by me) I think I changed the oil 3 or 4 times in that 10 years. Bike didn't cost me much, and I just wanted to ride. Found out when I was selling it that I had cracked the frame (1985 Suspension technology ain't what it is today) but that motor simply will... not... die. Yeah, I think you'll get your money's worth out of your Honda.

Thank you Bruce! Having this generator really is freeing to me, my soul. It means that I can go where I want, when I want and that's a happy feeling WoodGlue

Re: Honda EU2000i Generator Review
Recently purchased a Hutch Mountain propane conversion kit for one of our two Honda gens. Anxious to install and gauge performance. Used one of two gens during a trip to Grand Canyon this past summer. Camping at higher elevations we found we did not need the 2nd gen since no A/C was necessary. We also use our gens as backup power for our home. We can run critical home circuits on one gen. Being able to tap into our 400 gallon propane heating supply makes this very handy for extended power...

Re: Swagman RV Ladder Bike Rack
Been using this same rack for 3 years on our 2285. No issues. Do add a strap around the bikes and the upper ladder rung for extra support. Also did do two mods to make it more secure. One, a plywood face plate that slides onto the step behind the rack and provides a large contact area for the two foam bumpers instead of the bumpers sitting on the knife edge of the step. Two, straps that hold the rack tight to the ladder. Nylon webbings and two buckles from Home Depot.

Trailersphere Clever Cover Electric Tongue Jack Cover
Found this electric tongue jack cover on Amazon that is really nice! http://a.co/d/hR7cekJ A little more expensive at $39.99 but has windows to see the level, switches and light. Also has trailer chain hook loops and a pouch to put the trailer wire harness into. Can also be locked to the jack with a padlock. Much nicer than a Home Depot bucket and the look of this is much better than the regular plastic vinyl bag that is just stuck on top. They say not to tow with it on, but that is because...

Ryobi system tire inflator
Just bought one of these from Home Depot . I already own one of Ryobi's 18 volt ONE+ drill/drivers with two batteries, so it was a bit of a no-brainer. As it turned out, when I went to the service desk at Home Despot, they didn't have it handy, so they gave me $10 off because we had to wait for ages whilst they located one. So, it cost me $15 plus tax. Now, I already own a Viair 12V DC inflator, which has been great, except that unraveling the 12 V cable and 'raveling' it back up is a bit of...

Re: Mr. Heater Portable Buddy LP heater (supplemental while awake heat)
I bought 3 of these refillable flameking 1 lb cylinders and made this refill jig. No dickin around with freezing and a full fill each time. I ordered from home depot online and picked them up at me local store. I have refilled the disposables until I overfilled one and in the heat it assumed an hourglass figure. Not pretty.

Re: Mr. Heater Portable Buddy LP heater (supplemental while awake heat)
@satek60 Tell me more. I had not seen those before! So they have a better blowoff valve than the disposables to ensure getting a full fill without risking overfilling? Are those 1lb bottles the same size/shape as the disposables? My Buddy heater for example has a cavity where the bottles go, and there's a little door over it. Thanks, I think you just cost me about $60! Oh, nope... more than that. Did you get the fittings and 1/4 turn valve for the jig a HD too?

Re: BOLT Receiver Lock
I have 3 Bolt locks to secure my flat tow hitch equipment. I went with the Bolt locks to get some keys off my ring, and hoping this lock will be more reliable than the cheaper hitch pin locks I had before (home depot specials). The Bolt locks have been on my rig now for more than a year, are working perfectly, and seem to be resistant to highway dirt and crud. Before buying the Bolt locks, I was seeing at least one lock failure a year which was a major pain. The cheapo pin locks from the big...

Re: Honda EU2000i Generator Review
Similar for me so far. I have the 2020 1995 with the Coleman Mach AC and the Honda EU2200i feeding us during a Walmart overnight. All the pre-season, pre-purchase research I did convinced me that I would be installing a soft start on the AC to temper the load but much to our pleasant surprise, (so far anyway) we’re running low speed AC and enjoying a bit of cool. The generator is working hard when the compressor kicks on but overall we’re getting the results we need. Glad to hear of others’ ...

Honda EU2000i Generator Review
I recently rented one from Home Depot despite the negative attitude of the rental guy (that it wouldn't run my 2014 9k A/C) HA! I did my research and guess what, it worked beautifully! Easy to start (one tug) and worked almost silently. The thing is you don't start it in ECO MODE, full on power is what you need. Now the newer 9k units might be a little more touchy as Coleman-Mach has made changes to the 9k, so that's iffy. If you have a newer model 9k, I'd rent one and see how it runs. For...

Re: Carefree Awning Support Poles
For sand I use steel concrete form stakes (Home Depot) for my easy up. Drilled a hole and added an eye bolt for the rope. Should be good for this application as well.
