I just bought this same unit after the first episode of Bob’s friend highlighting this generator. It arrived a week before three tornadoes hit my area in the Florida panhandle and we were out of power for five days. I have an Ecoflow Delta 1300 and a Delta Max - one to run house fridge and one to run a second fridge and chest freezer in an outbuilding. I learned quickly I need more solar panels! I solved my problem by plugging the solar generators into my new Pulsar to recharge them both from 20% to full in a little more than an hour each day. I hadn’t even gotten my new propane tank filled yet but had just a little gas left in my BBQ grill tank. I was amazed that the unit isn’t that heavy, how easy it starts, how quiet it runs and so so happy that I don’t have to store gallons and gallons of gasoline year round. I ran it for a total of six hours and still have gas left in the tank. My neighbor spent $150 on gasoline to keep his big noisy genny running! 😮 He’s now switching over to my setup 😉 P.S. I’m a very petite almost-70-year-old lady 😊

If you install a softstart on your ac you can run a full 15K BTU air conditioner. Will still take 1400 watts to run. A soft start costs around $200-300 dollars, but is well worth it if you want to boondock and not carry a large generator. Softstart fixes the problem of the ramp up surge needed to start a ac which can be up to 8000 watts. A smaller generators can't handle the ramp up on the larger ac. The soft start will also fix the issue of running ac off a standard 20 amp house plug when mooch docking as well. it also will extend the life of your ac since it puts less start up stress on the system even when your have full hookups.. Only took me an hour to install myself with no electric background. Manufactures will provide all the hardware needed and how-to sheets and there is plenty of reference videos out there. You just cut a few wires and splice it into the ac unit. It really should become standard equipment moving forward.

@@Chubbydippin For a van build maybe, but a small window unit will not keep my 28' Travel trailer cool in the summer. I'm referring to a standard roof top ac units 15K BTU Coleman Mach. Window units most likely don't have the same watt and amp demands, but they also cant put out the same BTU. I have 1100 watts of solar on top of my travel trailer and another 400 watts of ground panels and together have run my AC without even needing to run my generator on solar along with my Bluetti AC200 max and B230 with the added charge enhancer which adds up to input of 1400 watts max from a potential 1600. Without the soft start this setup wouldn't work. But now for 5 hours out of the day during peak sun in summer I can run my ac fully off my setup. Early mornings and late evenings would need support from a 2200 watt generator in high heat. I have a GENMAX Portable Inverter Generator, 3500W now which has a remote start and love it. Started with a IGEN2200 Westinghouse that worked fine up until I got to 8000 foot plus elevation in CO. You loose 3% power output per 1000 feet above sea level due to less O2. So a 2200 generator ends up maxing output at 1540 which left me no headroom.

Make sure you change your oil after the first few hours when new, and then no more than 50 hours of running. Since propane runs cleaner then gas the oil will look clean, however the oil will still breakdown after time. Add an hour meter to the generator to keep track of how many hours of running time.

With all smaller gasoline tools, you should always run mid to premium gas, so your carburetors don’t get gummed up or even eaten up by ethanol gas. That Generator sounds as quiet as a Honda, over my phone. And the price is perfect!!

Sitting in my van in Yuma. °98 today. Park under a tree ( if you can find one ). The shade helps a lot. For 8yrs I've used the Powermate 2000. Gas. 5000 watt Artic King window unit. It's mounted in window of rear door. Back home in Mississippi we have non ethanol gas . No gumming. On a road trip using ethanol gas daily , no problem. A full generator of gas runs the a/c 8 hours. I use this set up just for the hottest part of the day. Tip...these new generators have a feature that if it is low on oil , it won't start. Check the oil level first if you are having start problems. Change oil every 50 hours. I change it every 25. Starts right up with fresh oil. a/c takes 800 watts at start up then runs at 400. Turn throttle switch to high when starting the a/c. When you hear the generator surge ( a/c is starting ) then switch to low idle. All of this a/c and generator stuff ends tomorrow as I'll be in San Diego. High of °65 . Glad I brought shoes and socks .😂

Yep, but if you're running an air conditioner at full load a 2,000-watt generator will go through that tank in only 12 hours. That's only 1/2 a day for $15-$25 worth of propane. That's unaffordable in my book, which is why I chose to go with solar. It costs more initially but quickly pays for itself.

I always see wind blowing your hair, you should make a little air concentrator for a wind generator (basically a cylinder with vents on all sides). You can get some crazy power out of some designs, the air collector/concentrators are the secret just like diffusion and fluorescence is the secret to boosting your solar panels.

Excellent advice Bob. For the same reasons you gave...I looked for a solution 2 years agl. After watching a YT video 2 years ago, I bought a Honda 2200i & a separate propane conversion kit. Waited for both to come in and never put a drop of gasoline in it. Very similar to the Pulsar, after priming it has started on the 3rd pull every time. HOWEVER, even though it had the 30A RV plug I was looking for so I could plug it directly into my RV like a shore power connection, the Honda cost me $1100. If I had to do it again, I would get the Pulsar 4000 Dual Fuel unit that has the 30A outlet at just $600 & 47lbs...I can still buy 2 of those for the price of the Honda and get 4X the power output. Thanks for the update Bob

Generators run great on propane. One of my neighbors was throwing out a 5000 watt generator after he couldn’t get it to run during a power outage. He removed the fuel tank from it to use with another generator and he put the generator out by the road for trash pickup or scrappers to pick it up. I snagged it and ordered a propane conversion kit for it. It runs great on the propane.

It starts easily and is very quiet. I carry a 2.5 gallon steel gas can that I keep on my motorcycle carrier when I'm driving. The generator fits perfectly in the area in front of the passenger seat of my E250 Ford van. I don't have AC but it's great if I want to use a microwave, TV, DVD player etc. See you at the RTR!

I installed a Softstart onto my AC and run it using our Champion 2400 Dual Fuel. Note that on propane will run at 90% of it’s rated capacity compared to gasoline and if you have a built-in battery charger you may need to either switch it off or wait until the batteries are fully charged to avoid overloading your generator. I run both gasoline and propane, much prefer propane as the exhaust gas smell is much less.

I just purchased another dual fuel, Pulsar. You can't beat the $400 deal! I bought my first Pulsar in 2019 when I first moved into my van and packed it around for years just in case I needed to run my A/C, which was just my floor model air-conditioner I had been using in my apartment. It was over kill I know. That thing blew ice cold and I vented it out my passenger side window with a custom-made hose vent holder. I only had to use my Pulsar a few times when it got over 90 degrees or more. I didn't want to pack gasoline around both for risk of fire and toxic fumes in such a small space. The generator does have a pretty good seal though. I think if you have a good quality gas can, packing a gallon or two of gas around shouldn't be a big deal. I found out it starts right up with one pull on gas. It takes a bit more to get it going on propane, though. Anyway, besides the ease of use, it also is a pure sine wave safe for charging sensitive electronics and is light enough for petite women like me to move around. I would recommend this generator to anyone!

We couldn't find a hotel that would take us and our 4 pets. There weren't any to find even without our pets. I wasn't going to leave them so we stuck it out at home using our portable power stations and portable solar panels. Well it wasn't absolutely sunny all day so we had enough for our fans & they did get us through the night. It would have been great to run one of our portable & window AC units. Thanks again for this video. I was on the fence about which generator to purchase. Now I know which one to get so that at least we can hunker down in a small room with a window AC unit going and we won't bake. I learn so much from your videos!!!

Just purchased an EG4 Hybrid Mini-Split AC, 12k BTU. Runs on AC or DC. That's the hybrid part. Claims to only need a minimum of 380 watts of panels wired directly to the unit. I went in half with someone on a pallet of 10, 370watt, bi-facial panels rated up to 480watts when bi-facial kicks in under ideal conditions. I get 5, they get 5. I'm figuring on 400watts on average. Theoretically, 1 panel should power it. But reality is there are cloudy days, so more than one panel will be necessary. When the unit senses there's not enough DC power, it switches to 120VAC, if available. Supposed to be really efficient and quiet. We shall see. Granted, this is for my home, not for a camper van. Lots of off-grid folks are turning to these mini-split units. Very easy to install and "somewhat" affordable. Total cost for the unit was $1,200 after $100 discount code. My half of the pallet of panels was $481. $1,681 total. I figure another $200ish for a couple circuit breakers and misc. cable/connectors for the long run I have between the panels and the unit. For under 2k in this economy to not have to pay for air conditioning during the day, I'll take it.

I have 2k panels on my bus and 5kwh battery 48v system. You can run all your stuff fridge router water heater induction cooker all electric window AC is about 456w on full blast. Now on sunny days you run that all on panels but this will be great for those days you need to recharge the batteries when you get 5 cloudy hot days. Unless you have 20 to 30 kwh worth of batteries which at 1700 each with shipping I think a $500 generator a really good backup 2000w hr would charge my battery in about 4 to 5 hrs. But thanks for the vid never thought of a dual fuel generator!

Good video- Not as cheap, but another good option is a couple of litime 230ah batteries and the new Velit ac( they make top mount and bench mount ac's) a little solar and you're good to go. I have no affiliation.

Sweet, I bought the exact model before I went to the 2024 RTR. Figured I'd want a secondary source of power to recharge my Bluetti EB200P while in the Quartzsite desert. It ran perfectly, break in oil change was simple and easy. I only ryn it on propane like Bob says, and this should last me for years to come. Well worth the money.

Now find us a truly tiny air conditioner. I once ran across a website (since lost track of) belonging to a blues musician who lived out of his car. He would travel around the South to various blues clubs and would camp at gov't run campgrounds. He would attach a truly tiny AC to his tent to stay cool. My memory of that AC was that it wasn't much bigger than one of those coolers that's just big enough for a six-pack. I have tried in vain to find a tiny AC for years and had no luck. Even the smallest ones currently available (500 watts?) are too powerful for the small spaces we're talking about in the context of this video. They'll freeze your ass!

another advantage is that propanr runs clean, engine life can be as much as 3 times longer and the oil stays clean.

Thank u for sharing. I think the goal of a lot of boondockers is just cracking the ac code. There are people out there leaving their Toyota sienna hybrid van 24/7 and the engine is totally fine and the cost is low

I tried this generator so far so good. Difficult to start but as it breaks in should get easier. I run a 5000 BTU stand up AC unit with casters no problem.

we now have a 1800 watt solar system on our rv roof which runs our ac and our batteries will run it for about 5 hours after the sun has set. after that we run our powerhorse 4500i inverter generator. its a great generator and will power our entire rv if needed. we only use gasoline in it. provides more power that way and is cheaper to run over time. it currently has 3100 hours and never had a problem, always starts right up.

I ordered a Pulsar dual fuel generator at the 40% off price after watching this review. It works very well for my needs. For the time being I’m running it on propane. I won’t use it very often so by just using propane instead of gasoline I shouldn’t have to worry about the fuel gumming up the carburetor from sitting in between use.

I would like to see you cover the soft start please. Everywhere I’m looking on line is leasing me to believe this is a must. Why am I not hearing any channels talking on this? I can’t wait tell technology catches up and all this silly a/c business is put to rest. It seems exhausting the trial and error and research. I feel like any day now battery technology is going to soar to new breakthroughs. I really like this generator though!
