3,800 W running, 4,750 W surge — sustains the fridge, freezer and the essentials tier and everything below it.
Best forFirst-time buyers who want one affordable do-everything generator for RV trips and outage basics.
One of the best-selling generators ever made, and the archetype of the 'good enough for everything' budget dual fuel. Electric start, RV-ready TT-30R outlet, propane capability out of the box, and nearly a decade on the market at around $550. Owners keep it on hand for outages. The trade-offs: it's a 68 dB droner that campground quiet hours won't love, output on propane drops about 10%, and there's no 240V so interlock users look elsewhere.
