Gas & propane generator

[Florida boondocker]

  i know there are many post on generators but i just ordered a Sportsman 2200-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator

don't really need a generator, i part time boondock a few days a month and my 400 watts solar meets my needs
but i wanted a small generator for backup

the reason for choosing this model ?

1) inverter model
2) propane & gas
3) price , i know ...i know you get what you pay for $499 & free shipping https://www.ebay.com/itm/182844525834

wish me luck and i have a 4 day weekend coming up to test i'll be sure to give reviews

i also picked up a sea eagle 10.6 SR for $400 cash off cl

Looks like you have a good-sized RV there....

Hey let me know how you like the Sea Eagle....I had thought about buying a small inflate-able but havent yet.

I have the 2000/1400 dual fuel and use Propane. I don't run it that often, maybe a couple times a month so it's not worth using gas and then have to deal with ***** carb jets from the evaporated ethanol.
You may know this but you get 10% less power output (wattage) with propane than gasoline.

Received my generator today and like a little kid i ripped the package open ,
threw some oil in it ,
grabbed a bottle of propane and hooked everything up
and fired this bad boy up


plugged into my cargo, set my a/c to 72 and let it run for 1 hour & everything worked great.
Handled the load fine, quiet running and lightweight compared to my 4,000 watts loud & heavy generator

i have a 5 day boondocking / fishing trip next week and will do a full test

sounds like a decent deal on the gennie...  Is it an inverter generator?

yes

Out of curiosity, are propane generators any quieter than gas generators?

noise level is the same and it is pure sine wave inverter
