Here's the details:

This is a used generator I bought that Home Depot was surplussing out of their rental fleet. It wasn't the prettiest thing, but it was in far better condition, and a much better price than EU2k's I've seen on Craigslist that look like they fell off a fast moving freight train.

My typical method of using an EU2k is run out an 80' 12 AWG extension cord as far as it will reach. I do this when remote camping (boondocking in the forest) while running small AC loads.

For A/C or heavy battery charging, I don't use the long cord, I use the 25' 10 AWG cord that came with the RV (to minimize voltage drop)

When remote camping, sometimes I will even chain it to a tree overnight and power a small space heater on the lowest setting all night, instead of running the propane furnace (which is noisy). I have a small 3 setting space heater, which has a 600, 900 and 1500 watt setting. EU2k will run all night on a tank of gas with the heater on the 600 watt setting.

Yep, I should have posted more details. Original post has been edited.

I don't have a photo hosting account that works with forums any more, that's why there's no pics.... When photobucket stopped allowing photos on forums, I gave up sharing photos.

BUT, it brings up a reason to make another video.
Sound like a good project for the pending snowstorm that will keep me home bound.

I never place it next to the RV - I run a long extension cord and set it off in the distance when remote camping, so no one has to listen to it right up at the rig. Then I lock it to a tree as well.

Wrap can be removed, paint, not so much.

If you haven't yet purchased a generator, Honda has made a 2000/2200 camo unit for years. I guess they don't make the companion in camo.

Interesting, the bright red attractive color is gone
But still highly visible
