That's good news, hope your Uncle makes a full recovery!

I have the Yamaha 2400IS. About 8+ hours on a gallon. Have over 1800 hours on it and it still runs like the day I brought it home with nothing but oil changes, spark arrester cleaning, and one fresh plug and air cleaner service. It's quieter than the Honda (59db), it's darn near silent. (54db Yamaha) has a separate fuel shutoff so I can run it out of fuel and a metal timing chain & cam. Has NEVER failed to start first pull or complained about heat/cold. Can run many different A/C units with a $20.00 hard start kit installed. It's all in the startup. But I don't use it for that. If I gotta run A/C I fire up the Onan. My last RV had a Coleman Mach 3 POWER Saver 13.5K BTU Air Conditioner. Best A/C unit I ever had. It only draws 10 amps yet was colder than the Carrier I have now. The Yammy (16 amp rating) ran that 10 amp Coleman no problem! Next year I may change ours out for the Coleman.

It can draw from a 5 gallon can. It will run everything easily except the A/C. I know this is a novel, but to me the generator is Soooo important. When it comes to generators, I honestly believe you get what you pay for. The Yamaha & Honda will run trouble-free for thousands of hours with no "fiddling" around. When I'm camping, the last thing I wanna fool around with is a generator.

Glad I snatched it up when I did. It was $445 with free shipping this morning. Now it's listed at $465 + $30 shipping. https://amzn.to/2COJbUs I knew it was a good deal when I saw it at that price. Ever used camelcamelcamel.com? Pretty handy website to gauge price trends of an amazon product. Just plug in the url and it tells you the highest, lowest and average price it has been listed at. It has helped me save tons.
