Good evening guys! It's our last full day here at Glamis North. And we're going to
get back on the road.... And it was another hot one today!..It's hot! Damn hot! Real hot!.... Hot in
my shorts I can cook things in it....Our next destination is going to be
dependent on whether this.... New generator down here can run our air conditioner...It's
set on the box! It can do it!... So what we have here is a Generac 2800 watt inverter
model...And if you've been following our channel.... This one has a dust guard!.....Video
check.... Alright! standby....Engine switch on! Economy mode off, fuel on, choke out...
There's no primer bulb!... Here we go....
We're going start with it "Not in economy mode." Okay! Moment of truth.... Heat the air conditioner....
It just loaded up!.... So far, so good! No overloading... Is the AC working in there?...Hey! Is the AC working
in there?... Hello, hello..... Okay! My helper had to hop on a phone call. That's why she
wasn't answering. But she gave me that thumbs up that it is working! That is
awesome! So this means that we can go boondocking and run our air conditioner during the hottest parts of the day!
We've proven our point. Let's go hook back up to shore power!.... Well I guess this
is a good opportunity to share an initial review of this generator! And.... If
it's your first time watching our channel, we have this generator because
the house generator in our Motorhome... Is very, very loud and it has a drinking
problem. And by running a remote external generator, it just saves us so much money!
And makes the quality of life better without having to spend a lot of money
on a a solar setup!.... And we're storing it, while we travel right here in the back
of the ATV. So for security, I lock it up here and over there.... With these cable
locks.... I'll probably upgrade to something a little heavier duty!...As for the ease of
use.... So far, this generator has started up every single time on the first pull!..And
its fuel economy is not quite as good as our little 2 kW generator that we had
last time.... But it has a larger fuel tank. So it runs for just about the same
amount of time. When we were out camping at the sand dunes in Glamis, we ran
this thing for a solid eight hours on one tank of fuel! So that's not bad!... For a
size reference, it's not that big of a generator!.... This pull handle is nice!... But
if you're going to ask me to predict a failure, I'm going to guess it's going to
be within these wheels!.... Well, I hope you enjoyed this real-life review of the
champion 2800 watt inverter model portable generator! Keep in mind it
was only a short-term review and... If you keep watching and like SUBSCRIBE to our
channel you will see this play out as we continue to use this generator in our
travels! So thanks for watching.... Tomorrow we might go head in the direction of
that expedition vehicle. That is still kind of a playing out but in case you
are new to our channel.... We are in the market for an expedition vehicle to
drive around the world so.... Another reason to hit SUBSCRIBE and see how that plays
out!.... Thanks for watching. We'll see you tomorrow!
