Honda Generator

[usmtsrocks]

This has been a topic on here before, but I was looking at getting a Honda for my Ice Castle as they are almost a must to have. My question is where is the best place to buy one? I know they are all around 800 bucks or so for the 2000 model, but just curious what stores actually sell them? thanks!

Northern Tool has them. Other than if a store offers some discount coupon the price of the 2000 Watt generators are all about the same. Also you could pick up a 1000 watt (which depending on your needs) may be big enough for $500-$550. I saw them on the list. Anyway good luck. You are already well on your way to a good purchase being you are talking Honda.

You need to go with the 2000 we bought one a couple years ago from gander. We brought the ad in from the Outdoor news from a Hardware store advertising a good price. They matched it and gave another dicsount plus open up a charge card and it even is less. We charge batteries run a tv and deep fry all at once and you need it in full throtle but it never shuts down. Put it eco throttle and it will run all night and put it in your truck bed and you wont here it at all. It is quieter than your forced air furnace. Good luck fishing Im pulling out the perm via wheeller on tuesday.

I got mine from a Marine and Sports place located in Grand Rapids. I think it was "Rays". Anyway, they sent UPS and was still cheaper than N.Tool.

I think they sell these by the truck load giving us a better deal.

I bought mine at Farm & Fleet in Grand Rapids. It is cheaper at that store than any others including their own store in Cloquet. Also by signing up for a Farm Fleet visa card I got an extra 50.00 off.

Anyone else hooking theirs up to a 5 gal boat gas tank? We got the special cap and used it for 2 days straight at deer camp. This set up is a must have.

Has anyone put the propane conversion kit on your honda,for 168.00 sounds like a great thing no gas on your hands

I did the gas tank hook up with a 3 gal tank. It works great. My suggestion for anyone looking at all those u-tube videos is to use the machined alluminum cap on HSO-Classifieds, only 1 quick connect on the tank end, and clear tubing so you,re sure it working. Buy the extra cap, don't screw yours up. We run 2 houses at night off mine and I'm still 3-4 full in the morning.

Sorry moderators, I screwed up again, you got it though. Once a year I seem to do that.

Got the Hose from fleefarm, bought the cap on line, and the tank from walmart along with both male Yamaha Ends one for the tank and one for the cap...

[Outfitter17]

Looks good, thanks for the pictures. How long will it run with the added tank?

[fishinfey8]

That would be the set up...we ran ours for 2-3 days on a 6.6 gal tank (same as pictured above).

about 72 straight hours or so, depending on what your running...i got an intellipower charge wizard in between my batteries and fuse box...meets the demand of the fuse box (furnace, lights, hole lights, 12 volt computer fans, stereo) and keeps the my 2 marine batteries (parallel) topped off nicely...
