GENERAC i2000

I had not seen this before the advertisement but they claim hundreds of dollars cheaper, somewhat quieter, and more features.

  • Generac has a horrible reputation for being able to find anyone willing to work on them. Let alone find parts.
  • I like the Generac IQ 2000 small Quieter and cheaper than the Honda.

    A review From a regular contributor to this forum

    Good price and is very quiet,meets my needs.

    It will handle all the small needs without all the noise of my on-board ONAN.

    If I need A/C I can always fire up the ONAN but this thing does everything else.

    I did a little test on my Generac IQ2000 with a sound meter, First running the ONAN,outside at about 2FT then inside both with the microwave on.

    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

    I see that Amazon and Home Depot both have them at a good price.

    I look at the video online of the IQ2000 and it looks like it has so good features. Questions: Can the Generac IQ2000 run a 13500 AC if needed? Also can you connect a auxiliary fuel tank to run it?
