Dumb idea for DIY Generator

Camping World, the highest prices in the RV world, is selling an Onan 2500 watt, diesel-powered, inverter generator for $850. It looks to be a diesel-powered Honda generator.

I promise it will be less hassle to buy and use than creating one for the first time in your life. It will also have some sort of warranty.

 

This is not true

Fuel Type: Unleaded Gasoline (10% Ethanol or less)

 

This is pretty much the cheapest kit "readily available" in the usa for a diesel generator.

Dang, I thought I could trust Onan, Cummins stickers to mean diesel. Reading is hard. Thanks for the correction.

 

Yeah, saw the form factor and knew it was gas, theres 19 different clones of those, theyre all dual linkable and pretty good, but no way is that tiny thing diesel

 

Digital is not the same as diesel.

 

I made my own 4.5 kw generator based on Kubota engine to fit only 20" space available. Provides 120 volt and 60 amp 12 volt charging batteries.

 

Most RV generators are gasoline fired. I looked at replacing mine with a diesel fires unit, but they cost several thousand dollars.
