I camouflaged my Honda EU2000

Here's something I did to my Honda EU2000 generator to make it slightly less visible to thieves - I installed a vinyl wrap on it.

I camouflaged my Honda EU2000

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' extension cord as far as it will reach. I do this when remote camping (boondocking in the forest).

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 would think that if one wanted to steal it, all they would have to do to find it is follow the sound, and the power cord?

    Nice idea, though I still prefer nylon wrapped cable and padlock when using my 2...
  • Finished product is exactly what you saw at the end! Can't say it made in less visible!
  • Why camo?

    Someone should make a Champion wrap.

    Like covering your Harley with a Goldwing cover.

    He doesn't show the finished product in the video...heh. He quits after doing one side. I just skipped thru it.

  • Watchers your video, a great idea, but it will cost me not just for one but two.....??

    And will cost a bit more, as it gave me an idea of using a vinyl wrap on my truck rocker panels that has a paint issue.
  • LOL I never would have thought of that, I know lots of us worry about our generator walking off but I don't recall any reports of that happening here. Some chain and a padlock is what I use.
