IAMICHABOD - You seem to be sold on the IQ2000.
Tell me, do you have a pair and have you had good luck with them running a 15k AC unit?
No I don't have 2. The reason I am sold on this unit is its cost and what it will do. I first saw the IQ last year while dry camping,I talked to the owner and he was pleased with them,The cost and that they were assembled in the USA,he had a fairly new TT and said that he used them for the A/C and to run the TV or Microwave if needed.
I did a LOT of research including the Clickys in my first post that show what they will run.
I wanted one that would handle all the small needs without all the noise of my on-board ONAN. When I dry camp in our state parks I don't like to run it if possible,close quarters and all and I like to be a good neighbor.
I did a little test on my Generac IQ2000 with a sound meter, First running the ONAN,outside at about 2FT then inside, both tests with the microwave running.
I found that inside the RV it was only 5 db less than outside,my ONAN sits under the dinette and there is some vibration too.
Then with the Generac at 2 ft the Generac was 10db quieter outside and inside it was only 2-3 db higher that the ambient noise and no vibration.
I then went to the empty neighboring campsite and did the same test.
With the ONAN on it measured 10 db higher than the ambient noise level and with the Generac only 2-3 db above ambient.
I think my neighbors would prefer the Generac when I have to charge my batteries or run the microwave for a short time,I know I like it much better and if the need ever rises and I need more power in a second unit I am confident that these will fill my needs.
As always in the spirit of this Forum I try to give info to others,as I have in my other posts, what they do with it is their call.:B
Thanks for the report.
