This RV generator is "quieter than a conversation." It can run at levels as low as 52 decibels. Trust us, your RV neighbors won't be knocking on your door to complain about generator noise! We share how much this generator can handle, price breakdowns, and much more.

Join us today as we take our camper off-grid to boondock with our ultra quiet RV generator. We continue our mini series of documenting our expenses through the state of California. Being able to take an RV boondocking can help save you a ton of money...but at what cost? Well, we can happily say it won't cost $15,000 - Unlike some solar and lithium battery setups!

    SHEESH that generator is almost as much as my solar/battery setup. EG4 6000xp inverter+ 2x EG4 Lifepower 4 batteries, and 5x 445watt used solar panels. I wanna say $4000 all in, no noise, no gas, no fumes, no annoyed neighbors, and it all connects like legos.
  • @markk171
    We have an old Honda EU2000. We originally bought it for our boat but now use it for our RV and backup when the power goes out at home.. Its 16 years old and works like a champ...best on the market and worth the money.
  • @bobabooie6389
    Nice generator. I agree spend the extra money. get something that is going to be good. cry once buy once👍🇺🇲
  • @deltabravo1257
    Grab a small piece of plywood to sit the generator on, that way it doesn’t vibrate in the gravel and move around. It always helps keep the bottom from getting all scratched and gouged. I’ve been using this trick since 2001 when I bought my first Honda genny.

    In June of 2023 we headed out on a month long trip from Michigan to South Dakota and Wyoming and back. Taking a different route to and from. Towing a Grand Design Imagine 22reb with a GMC elevation 4x4 truck. Our fuel bill was just over 1000.00 dollars. We boomdocked when possible,stayed in state parks and one hotel cabin campground at the foot of the Badlands. Like you staying in one spot and doing day trip that were an hour or two hour destinations. The cost of this trip was about 3500 which included fun and gifts for family. After seeing your video on your yearly expenses, I realized full-time wouldn't be possible without selling the sticks and bricks. This season for us this year is having a seasonal site from May 1st to Oct 16th for 1870.00 with plenty of fun things to do in the surrounding area. We enjoy your videos so much. I love the honesty and the humor!!!❤

    Please consider providing a YT hug to Kyle on Jenny Apple. He officially took the kids on their first RV sleep over locally. Everyone came over and helped him for his first time. It's special to see him building moments after losing Jenny to cancer and carrying forward a wish that never seemed the right time. I've tried to share your vlog. He is giving it a great go. Thanks much ❤
  • @Joe-cu4hi
    We’ve had our EU3000is for 7 years 8 months. Used it for hurricane season, State and National parks and last year for boon docking most of 80 days out west. It’s a great complement to our 1000w solar generator. BTW in Yellowstone the ranger came around with a db meter. He told me he hates to do it but he will request campers to shut down if they are too loud. Glad our Honda has a 48db-56db range w/ 3.5 gal gas tank. Also we love your channel. We had separation anxiety during our 80 day trip not being able to continue to watch your Alaska trip 😊
  • @aagl747
    I’ve had a Honda 2200, its 15 years old. It had been without use for four years straight, I drained fuel and oil, put new spark plugs and the thing turned on without skipping a heart beat. One tank lasts a long time and it’s super quiet. Honda is top of the line, off brands may use the same engine but they will always be behind the latest Honda.
  • @chasson321
    I’ve had my two Honda 2000i’s for 15 years. Together they will run the a/c if needs be. I did learn that there is a jet located under an adjusting screw that when plugged cause them to surge. Easily fixed with a small drill set.
  • @user-ib1vs6hk2i
    Used to pull a gooseneck horse trailer with a dressing room. Boondocked in it at horse shows. ALWAYS wanted THAT generator. Unfortunately, daughter grew up and never got one. BUT u made a GREAT choice!
  • @Rick-bx2im
    You did it again. Great video with info to be gleaned by everyone. Your experiences on the road and full timing help everyone whether full time part time or just starting off. Keep it up and keep ‘em coming. Also remember, return on investment can be more than just money. Time, convenience, and having coffee for Ney Ney in the mornings count for something. Thanks Hanks!
  • @ibMoose2u
    I bought 2 eu2200i’s and LOVE them! I bought them just before ac softstart really started taking off. With 1 ac and a softstart, I now only need 1 of my genes for my 50amp Outdoors RV TT on the road. I only boondock as I REFUSE to spend $50+ at an rv park unless I’ve had a REALLY long travel day and want to splurge for the hookups. A ton of people are very opinionated about other gene’s being as good as Hondas. Nope. The facts are out there, Honda is top quality with a HUGE longevity span and absolutely worth the investment!
  • @stevedenoyer5956
    You can’t go wrong with a Honda motor, they’re basically bullet proof. Every thing I’ve ever owned Honda has been amazing
  • @dnrsvp
    Great video. Nice information on the Honda generator. It was good to hear the difference between regular and eco mode. Man is that thing quiet!!! I think not having to worry if you are using too much battery power when dry camping is worth every penny you spend on a generator. For me it isn't, "Will I recoup the cost by not staying at campgrounds." It is the freedom to go further and stay longer without worry. Priceless! Major props for the communication between the two of you when backing the rig!!! Nice job Renee, being constantly on the radio, so your driver knows exactly what you are seeing.
  • @jamesjohns4464
    Drone footage driving into the park was fantastic. I bet it takes alot of coordination to make it look natural.
  • @vincentkeith5259
    Wow - I've had that broken spring experience - a 17' Kit trailer, behind a 1969 Ford Station Wagon. Trailer rocked so hard it caved in the left front corner from impacting the road. This was a long dirt road heading from Williams Lake (BC, Canada) to Kamloops, or maybe we were still on the way to Williams Lake. - it was a long time ago - I think I was 7 or 8. Got it fixed in a little town that had a barn turned into garrage/gas station and a tiny general store/post office.
  • @GrumpyForester
    I wish these quiet small generators were available back in the day when the kids were small and we were "boondocking" with our 19-ft camp trailer behind our F-250 (we called it 'CAMPING' back then) out in the woods in dispersed (undeveloped) campsites along creeks or in Forest Service campgrounds that don't ever never ever have hook-ups. We lived our Friday nite - Sunday morning camp trips nursing along the two batteries we had (no solar back then, of course) - perhaps plugging into the truck if necessary to put a boost into them to get by. "Portable" generators back then were heavy and loud and the sort of thing that you didn't want take along unless you absolutely needed to...which we didn't...
  • Love my Champion duel fuel. I'm already carrying propane, and I don't have to carry gas. No fancy app, though.
