New to RV world and purchased the Onan P4500 and after watching your video much more confident about using a generator. Step by step from unboxing to start up eased my jitters. Great video

I'm happy that I bought the Briggs And Stratton P4500 electric generator, also the Wagan 1500 Plus , and the Phoenix Elite 300 solar stations.

FYI: It is a Westinghouse rebranded. I have the Westinghouse i4500 dual fuel. It is a great generator. I have about 60 hours on it from the many power outages in So Cal.

Nice thorough review Louis. An extra $500 bucks over the years of use you’ll get out of that is not really a big deal. Especially when you are using it for your business and need to depend on it. Great informative video.

Nice review......just so you know, there is a large distributor that sells the Onan for just under $700 every day! Have to pay $99 shipping but still a great deal.

I have rebranded version by champion, 200987 4500 watt remote start that looks very similar. Haven't used it yet, but it looks to be decent quality. Waiting on a high altitude jet.

Which is cheaper Onan or Westinghouse? And has Westinghouse fixed the unplugged choke wire that the new owner has to connect??
@LouisatRshackBBQ3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. I didn’t have to hook up any wires other than the leads for the battery. I may be wrong but I think this is the same unit just rebranded under Onan/Cummings name

Question.. does the battery light have to remain on in order to use remote start/stop? If so, how long do you think it can stay on before battery runs down to the point of no start?
@LouisatRshackBBQ3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. My understanding is as it is running - it is charging the battery. I am not sure how long the battery will last when not on -but it has been sitting in my shop for a few weeks and I went out and it started right up today.

Looking at videos right this moment as video plays… THIS UNIT IS EXACTLY the same as Westinghouse 4500. So some China knock off rebranded by diff makers?; slap a brand label on it of your choice. As the Cumins tech said in one of these threads, they’re junk and just sit to die when coming in for service; no parts or tech documentation for repairs. Where does unit say it was made?? Buyer beware. What is the world coming to?

THIS IS A RE-BRANDED CHINESE GENERATOR. SHAME ON CUMMINS FOR PUTTING THEIR REPUTABLE NAME ON THIS. I AM RETIRED OWNER OPERATOR. I HAVE RUN EVERYTHING CUMMINS FROM THE SMALL CAM 290 (IN THE LATE 70's) TO THE MARINE GRADE KTA-600 (19 LITER). AGAIN, SHAME ON CUMMINS.
