3000W Chinese Gensets Info.

I would like to thank the professer and others for all their views and help. I'm not an RV er but stumbled across this forum during a search on china made generators. I had a homelite L4400 generator but it quit on me after 5hrs of use during katrina causing me to lose all items in refridge/freezer besides 5 days of miserable hot weather without even a fan. (some rough nights)I vowed to have another generator before the next storm. Well finding a generator here in south louisiana right now is next to near impossible and or expensive. After reading all 150 pages of this forum I decided to go with the elim storm series 6600. This generator was based on yamaha tech but at 1/3rd cost. (cost was a big factor in my purchase as i couldn't afford around 2000.00 for the wattage i wanted)I received this generator friday 12-02-05 put it together fired it up put loads on it etc. My 1st impression, what a sweet machine, hardly any vibration and quiet for the 12hp engine it has. My feeling right now is i basically got a yamaha tech generator for 869.00 including shipping. Now i know time will be the true test of this generator, but considering my experience with the homelite model I feel like i brought a Mercerdes. Just wanted to thank all posters for their comments and realize the final decision was mine whether to take the chance on a china model. Just a final note elim international was a great e-bay company to deal with answering questions etc. And no i don"t work for elim international. Just a little old beer salesman. Thanks, Curt
