Thank u much! (solo female here). I'm learning and every time I listen to discussion on watts/amperage i get a little smarter. So I really appreciate your vlog today!!
Thanks for the video! I bought this gen and installed the hour meter. VERY simple. I also hooked the Sportsman up to my camper and it immediately shut off. I didn't disconnect the batteries but the refrigerator was turned on. I had it set for Combo where it can run off of propane or electric. Nothing else was turned on. After watching this video I will do more testing.
Thanks for validating my purchase! My Sportsman 1k inverter and 2k open frame are going to serve me extremely well. Good video.
Using extension cords while rolled up on a wheel increases amperage. It's literally a copper coil, just a weak version. Extend the cord so it's not coiled around itself and see if it handles the micro.
Although the external plastic extension cord casing may distort, The actual copper wire does not change diameter... The length remains the same... As long as it is not kinked, the rolled up cord loss due to increased resistance is extremely negligible....
4 amps is what got apollo 13 back to earth
That is funny!
I hate being "that guy" but I think it was Apollo 13👍😉
@@darrellwampler6473 oh yeah, cause they commented on 13 being unlucky in the movie... 😁👍
@@Rvdaydream And to think all they needed was 1 100 watt solar panel and they would have been in business.
I bought this same unit within the last month. Simple and easy to use and service. Great little unit. We also have the dual fuel Sportsman 2000/1400 and the Dual fuel Sportsman 4000/3500 unit also. These were all purchased at absolutely great deals on sale at Lowe's or Home Depot. We have a 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite 2509S. Love it but should have bought what you got. Maybe an upgrade soon though. Keep up the great videos. Thanks.
Thanks heaps for all the info. You save me a lot of time researching. I am jealous of your r.v , btw. Happy camping.
How could somebody possibly give this video a thumbs down? Thank you so much for taking the time to make this awesome video, thank you thank you👍👍
You can lose your man card owning an RV and not having 100 ft of 12-3 you've got 24hrs to get to home depot! 🤣😂🤣😂
Mike, need to ask a dumb question- why didn't you bring the generator closer to the rv door instead of running around?
Hi Mike: I plugged my 15' trailer into the Sportsman and it ran my converter and small Dometic refrigerator. I was very surprised. I thought the resistance of the element would be too much. I don't know how big the element is but the fridge is about 4 cubic ft. Thanks; Frank
My refrigerator doesn't have an electric heating element. It's just a two-way fridge. So it runs on the AC using the compressor or it runs on propane. If you have a three way fridge the heating element is actually powered by 12 volt so the drain on the AC side of things wouldn't be very much at all.
@@Rvdaydream Hi Mike. I neglected to mention the Dometic is original 1987 model so i assume the element is a fill resistant on the gene. Thanks Frank
My freg is 6ft and pulls 2.7 amps about 360 watts so the generator could do it. Along with some other things.
So just to confirm , you can plug your RV into this Sportsman and charge your RV Batteries ? How many and what Batteries are you Running ? Thanks
We have 2 deep cycle lead acid Interstate batteries...
Sweet vid. I have a sportsman inbound. Trying to rig a 35-45 Amp RV style charger system (Iota/power max) to my boats electrical, to top off the batteries say 2-3 hours at remote camping spots after a long day of fishing... But Idk if it will handle the 45A, as it will loose about 7% due to elevation, 2440'.... But your dang close, would it hold 8.1A @ 110? Cuz that's about 899 watts of power. Looks like it cut off at 8.2+... What elevation where you at?
Very interesting demo. A super long extension cord showing off efficiency of AC, Im now curious if the limitations might be from engine sensing rpm's. and not the invertor itself. It has an economy mode some Im guessing there is some kind of engine sensor.
Is this generator an either/or situation....use AC OR DC charging...but not both? Might be interesting to see if you can weasel a few more amps from the DC side.
Can a craftsman 1700 watts be used to generator enough power for the sun Joe pressure washer for commercial use?
The generator tripped & died at 8 amps,... 120 volts x 8 amps = 960 watts so that is why the generator tripped the overload when you tried to run the microwave.
I saw 8.2A so more like 984 Watts. this would be surge capacity. I would like to see some one creep up on the 800 watts (6.7A), I understand the Gen100I's will shut down with loads over 600-650 that last more than so many seconds.
I just bought one and every 10 seconds it does a quick lope. Then under a load it lopes every 30-50 seconds. Power output is a constant 124v even during the lope. Should I be concerned?
You have said in past videos that you have dealt with generators for work. In what capacity did you deal with generators?
1000 watts divided by 120v is 8.33 amps. Is the 1000 watt genny running or starting output?
That info was covered on the video when I first bought this..
Starting 1000 watt. Running 800 Watt
I remember watching this one and wanting to buy one but I waited too long to pull the trigger... They didn't last long, did they? lol
No they didn't.. 😂
Good vid
Get a larger gauge extension cord.
Regardless, the generator can only push less than 8 amps maximum..
Hi Mike: The last test when you turned on the TVs, and all the speakers. Was the Refrigerator also running? How do you think it would work with a heating element Refrigerator? Most likely the same as turning on the water heater. Two of my friends also purchased this gene. I also added the hour meter to mine. I am breaking it in with standard 10/30 and then will switch to Synthetic. One of my friends is breaking his in with Synthetic. Your thoughts on breaking in with Synthetic? Thanks for your great videos. Frank
Yes, I had the refrigerator running and then I added all those other things that I discussed such as the TVs and the stereo. As far as my break in with standard oil check my previous generator videos I talk about that on pretty much every generator video that I show.
@@Rvdaydream nice test,didn't know Rockwood offered a 12 volt compressor refrigerator
@@yknotrcthanks, but it's not a 12volt compressor....
@@Rvdaydream thanks Mike, I know I thought I heard you mention the compressor in this and one of the other videos on the new RV so I assumed it was 12 volt and we know what happens when you assume lol All of the Rockwoods I have looked at had Gas/Electric Absorption type Refrigerators so I was confused, BTW Awesome Rig Best of Luck with it . Not sure why but I had to resubscribe today ?
Thank you. Thank you.
Honey,can yaa use this tiny generator to run yaa aircond.?
Doubt it...
Doubt that...
so i did some math and it seems like youre on 120v probaly in canada if i`m right and im getting a broken 2000 230V (germany) gen (owners dont know why ps there`s no sparkplug and for 40€ wich after google should be 62.22 canadian dollar or what ya have) really right after i unpaused ya showed 120v bruh
What can it run in the house 🏡???
Anything under 7 amps
@@Rvdaydream a refrigerator?
You have to add up the amps... There are online websites that give estimates on how much ind appliances use..
@@Rvdaydream ok 👍🏼
@@Rvdaydream I will order one and try to do a real life video on what it can run. Thx.
You mean "battery inverter"?
I dunno, maybe.. 😂
It's just called an inverter. An inverter turns DC into AC.
So a 1000 watt generator is a waste of money don't do it!
Great way to keep batteries charged when stuck in cloud cover for days and solar is lacking....
