Community Reviews
This WEN 4800 watt RV ready inverter generator stands out as a lower priced alternative to comparable Predator and higher watt WEN models, with enough output and RV focused utility for backup power or camping. The electric start and carbon monoxide detection version is also discounted, and the unit can reportedly be retrofitted for remote start. It is not an inverter, so it is louder and less suited to sensitive electronics like computers and TVs. Propane and dual fuel options offer more flexibility, but they cost more and the dual fuel version is about $94 higher at the moment.

It is described as about half the price of an equivalent Predator using the same 224cc engine, and roughly 30 lb lighter than another option while offering more RV-focused functionality. A higher-watt WEN dual-fuel electric-start model is about $250 more, with more wattage and features.
Yes, electric-start and CO-detect versions are also on sale, and a dual-fuel version exists but costs about $94 more at the time. The electric-start model may also be a candidate for a remote-start retrofit if you want RV convenience.
This model can run on propane, and it has a setting to run the carb dry. Propane offers storage longevity, but it provides less wattage, costs more, is harder to source, and tanks have transport and recertification limits.
No. It is a conventional generator, so it may be louder and is not the best choice for sensitive electronics like computers and TVs that need clean power.

Reviews are slightly lower, and of course its $250 more, but its higher watts, dual fuel and electric start. I don't own either. I have a secondary house on a lake in middle of nowhere that power goes out 3-4 times a year from storms for 4-8hrs. I currently have a a 4kwh Ecoflow out there that I use and am generally happy but considering something a generator to add to that and to charge my wifes tesla if she ever ran it dead. Any input is appreciated on if the $424 one is completely sufficient or if the $250 extra is worth it.
