Would this generator be enough ?

2000Watt will/should run everything except the AC. That generator is likely to be a little on the load side but not too bad so it depends on where you plan to use it. In a quite setting it probably won't be appreciated but rallys, fairs, race tracks, tailgates and etc it should be fine.

Giving it away slightly used better be less than $150.

They have the receipt here in Canada they paid $895 plus 13% tax and are selling for $250

Wow 2000 watts? That should work excellent. There are a lot of people in this forum who seem to think they need 4000+ watts of generator power and I don't get it. Maybe they want to run their hot water heater on electric, while running 2 roof AC units and also running the microwave...

anyway, I would say get it. Its more than enough power to keep your batteries charged and run say a 15 amp appliance at the same time.

I make do with a 350 watt generator when I camp... enough for me to charge batteries and run cell chargers, all my lights, etc.

In fact, if your air conditioner is a 13,500 btu unit, it MAY even run on your generator, no way to tell for sure. But that would only be with charged batteries an nothing else going.

Too much money. For $50 more you can have a brand new 4000W surge/3500 contineous and a little quiter generator that will run everything in the camper including the AirCond.

Its going to be loud

Made by who what model ?

agreed, unless its a honda 1000 or 2000 ei or whatever, it may sound like a power washer running all day. Quiet seems to be expensive unfortunately.

Champion Power Equipment 4000/3500 watt model. Even has an RV 30amp plug. Not as quite as a Honda but not to loud for "events"

There is a generator that has come up locally for sale here and they are giving it away and say its three months old with the original receipt.

Run far away from this.

I can't say enough bad about this generator. It's load, (meaning not quite), it's heavy, and, they're "giving it away" for a reason - nobody wants it. You get what you pay for, you will be disappointed.

Sorry boss but this is one of the loudest, most obnoxious generators on earth. i've met more than one owner who is so sorry he wasted his money. You tend to get what you pay for and other than a Nascar venue running a Champion 4,000 is just plain rude! :S
