How do you consider it awesome? I'm missing the part on how much power he was using. But $25 in 9 hours is way too expensive for me.

Had same one , put 1000 hours on it. Bolt on plastic manifold exhaust side (plastic cracked). Oil leak unknown source, spark plug cylinder started stripping, and ran 99 percent propane. It started surging on both fuels . The 12v wire from propane tank started fraying and will require replacement. I would not buy another from costco. Customer service immediately accused you of not doing valves as ordered. I did them perfectly and changed oil frequently. Dont buy

I barely had 80 hours on my firman I paid almost $500 for gas/propane. The coil went out!!!! I'm going to contact firman and see what kind of discount I can get for a new coil. My mechanic thinks it was used before we bought it, supposedly new. Not happy. I hope they work with me.

Their customers service is awesome. I am going on my third year. I go boondocking camp sixteen times a year. I USE mine pretty hard, and the wheels fell off because the 4 bolts rattled loose. Customer service (in AZ) told me that as long as it was registered, the warranty would cover those bolts. By the way, they cost a total of $6. I love my Firman! I love Firman customer service, having used the 2 times, I was super impressed (I am usually hard to impress)

It is AC voltage, not DC, so no positive or negative. Just connect the left side with the left side and right side with the right side and you will be fine. Just do this before either of them are running. Pretty sure one can be running when you connect the wires, but absolutely not both, still best to start with both off. If you connect them together while both are running, you are likely to kill one inverter or both. Unless you get lucky, they won't be synched when connected together, and will be forced into synch with each other as quick as possible, which in big power plants, is a physical slam, but in these electronic inverters, I have no idea. When they are first turned on, they will synch properly with what they are connected to, but they are starting from 0, so its easier.

I'd like to know how much gas it would use in the exact same situation. It's hard to compare since we don't have a clue how much power you were using. Using an electric heater pulling off a generator is extremely inefficient. You might be getting 20 percent efficient when you could be getting 80 percent from your camper's own propane heater.

Thats not the starter battery , Thats the vaper canister ---, To service the air filter or battery remove both access panels side and rear covers . to remove the battery Firman forgot to leave any room to get to the battery . Disconnect the ground cable near the drain plug . Leave both access covers off .The battery is in the rear below the air box . . remove front air filter cover . Remove the hold down bolt and tilt the battery up to remove . Poor battery access . My Firman generator ran fine. Its just hard to service.

Interesting how some wont buy this because it's made in China... like most other stuff we buy isn't. Trust me, I would rather not buy from China but I'm not made of money. IMO, I dont like to waste money. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I currently have a reconditioned 2000W firman I got on ebay for $235. Honestly, has been super reliable. I plan to buy this one, refurbished for $399 on ebay for my off grid cabin. There is no way I can either justify or afford to spend, what, 5 times for a better brand, even double. Until I get one of these that craps out on me, I'm willing to take a chance. BTW, I do have the Predator 3500 which has also been a good unit, however, I paid $800 for it a few years ago.

Even everyone’s beloved Honda 2200 is made in Thailand or China depending on the model. I’m pretty sure every single inverter on the market comes from the continent of Asia. As long as they have good quality control, that’s what we have to choose from. Oh well
