Hello to all,
Quick question. The Generac generator in my coach is a boat anchor at this stage and apparently it's virtually impossible to find parts for it. I am casting about for alternatives, and wonder if the Honda EB4010 is still the gold standard in terms of retro-fit generators for a 23 footer. I know that Johnny Bridges installed a Harbour Freight Predator. Good deal cheaper for sure - but it sounded like a fair amount of modding work was required, and I figure it will be easier to get Honda parts up here in Canada.
I have found a used EV4010 (2008) for approx. $700 US plus shipping.
Has anyone experimented with the newer Honda air-cooled ones with built in invertors? Or with the new Onan 2800 watt Generator?
I had a big Onan in my SOB class C, and hardly ever used the thing, so I don't want to spend a fortune. But something relatively quiet would be nice, and my understanding is that the Honda is a bit quieter than an Onan.
Thanks on advance
