Discription States RV READY. But if you look at the circuit (fuse) Breaker FOR THE RV Plug it is only rated for 25amps. RV's require a minimum of 30amps. so it is not RV Ready in MY OPINION.Newer RV's are 50 amps. So be carefull .""""

That was for the new remote model.................


Hope Honda doesn't find out how badly they've screwed up. Somehow they've sold millions of generators to RVers without a 30 amp plug. :shhh:

With the Honda and the Yamaha inverter generators in order to get the 30amps you have to hook two together...
I bought the Yamaha for a few good reasons...
1) it has a cast iron sleeve for better wear.
2) it has a fuel gauge...
3) it's much easer to change oil...

The Honda and Yamaha are both very quite and very fuel efficient...
They both weigh in at under 50lbs full of gas.
The Yamaha holds 1.1gal.and it will run 10-12hrs on a tank.
It will run my lights, heater, microwave and coffee pot all at the same time.
And besides it's blue...I like blue...
