Svengoolie Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) After 1600 hours, I'm replacing my Yamaha 2000is. Yamaha has introduced the 2200is earlier this year. The 2000is has been absolutely flawless since I got it, maybe, 7 or 8 years ago. It has pwered the RV well below freezing and during sand storms. I run the generator all night so power is always available and when the furnace kicks on, batteries are never low. It's quiet and I place it 50' from our camp so it's not disruptive. Yes, the RV has an Onan 5500 (50 amp) generator on board that I don't like. It's an expensive piece of crap that is straight out of the 1960's. It's a fuel hog using at least 1/2 gallon an hour and is not variable speed like the Yammi. I use it some, like when the A/C gets used to keep the dog and cat cool on those warm Dumont afternoons. I'll do a test and find out if this generator is worth having. Features: 10.5 hour runtime from a little over a gallon. Illuminated control panel Exterior carb drain Fuel gauge quiet I have no loyalty to Yamaha (or any other company) so if I don't like it, I'll report to you here. Meanwhile, please stay away from our camp if you use a contractor generator. They are obnoxiously loud and disruptive. . .

DuNe~Rydher Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I almost bought that the other day at costco. I still probably will before Thanksgiving. Post up your thoughts after Halloween, good or bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svengoolie Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) After the weekend I'll do a write up. I'll continue it down the road too. This is the rest of it. She's got a 351 Cleveland, factory air and curves... . . . Edited October 22, 2019 by Svengoolie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
