Well, I haven't seen this one listed yet, or I might have over looked it. We stopped into Big Lots in Greensboro, NC this afternoon returning from the antique farm show in Denton, NC. While walking around I noticed this unit. I immediately took it down from the shelf and opened it up to see if it was comparable to the others being discussed. It looked to be the same and since I didn't want to pay shipping from partsamerica.com, well, it just followed me home. Price was $288. Manual was vague on choke operation and it didn't start on first or second pull, so I set the choke lever in oposite direction and it started with a nice mellow sound. I ran around to the back of the trailer and brought out the power cord and 15 amp adapter. Plugged it up and hit the AC. Engine expressed it's acquisition of a load with a bit louder rumble but it didn't hiccup one bit. Sure could have used it the past 2 nights when the temps didn't seem to drop below 80 all night. Engine is noticeably less noisy than the 1850 watt Coleman we had used for the weekend. If I can round up a dB meter I'll get some readings. I'm thinking of mounting on back bumper of the fifth wheel in some sort of sound deadening enclosure. Will post more later.
