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

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.

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...

Rob! We gave one away at RITV 3. Joe they work very well and a number of my Lance friends have installed them. One installed one in his 2285 with a 15k btu and runs it with a Honda 2000i. If caught in a hot area, we find an RV park with hookups! Happy Campers BobnRobin

Has anyone purchased the newest Brigs and Stratton generator? Is it as quiet as the Honda?

Pick one of these up at Costco for $599.99.   Some of the things I like about it are;   1)  Cheaper than the Honda or Yamaha versions 2)  Manufacturer 3 year warranty (Yamaha only offers a 2 year) 3)  Costco stands behind the...

I have owned two of these since May 2014 and have used them several times boondocking. On a recent trip in early September, it was 19 degrees one morning at 7800 ft altitude, and the generator started with 3 pulls and ran just as it should. I bought 2 because I wanted to be able to run the A/C boondocking if I want to, and could not mount a larger 4000W generator that I had when I bought my 2014 2385 on this TT's rear bumper (too wimpy a bumper). The two cost me less than one Honda or Yamaha...

I run my Honda on premium, always have even though the manual says you can use 87. Its only a gallon and if were going on a long trip and towing the Jeep I'll fill it with the same and siphon gas to fill the genny if needed. Run premium in the motorcycles too.

If it wasn't the choke setting then it sounds like there is something wrong with yours. With the choke set properly mine starts in 2 or 3 pulls, as it did the first time also. And if yours is loud that's another indication something is wrong. It's just a little louder than a Honda, but certainly not loud....

But I have heard gens enough at fairs and this reminds me of one of them (not quite THAT loud). Will...

Hello fellow Lancers. Has anyone tried to parallel the Smarter tools gen with a Honda? Happy camping nm1oqrz

No need to get in a hurry with a generator choice. We just purchased Two Honda eu2000is. So far they start each time on the first pull.

I'm still happy with mine. Currently camping at Morro Strand SB snd only brought one this time. Has no problem sparking up the micro or Keurig at this elevation. At altitude I need two to effectively run things without bogging down the system's voltage. Bottom line........3,000 watts for slightly more money than a Honda 2k unit costs.

My husband and I have the Expressway folding bike made by Giant. We both find them to be really fun and comfortable to ride. I love how much more stable and maneuverable they are than a full size bike. They have 20" wheels so they're not as small as some of the other folding bikes. We don't usually fold them in half to transport them, just fold down the handle bars and pedals. Like that, they fit in the back of my Honda Element when we're at home. On the road, we put them in the back of our...
