Its time

[FastFiveO]

Hello Jayco owners,

my name is Brian, and after a few weeks of lurkin on the forum I figured it was time to be a member. I just purchased my first travel trailer in december of 2010 now just so u guys know I call it a camper cause I have never owned one of those either. Its a 2009 JayFlight 26bh the camper was used a total of two times before I bought it. Now for a little background on me im 28 years old just got married in 2010 and my inlaws own a nice size lake that the tt will be parked at. I do plan on making some nice vacation trips with the tt but at this point felt that it was cheaper to purchase this then to build a cabin out on the lake it self. The only down fall to this is i have no power supply so im now on the hunt for a nice quality genterator that is at least decent on dbs. So for u season vets let me know what u use and what u have luck with.

Welcome FastFiveO.
I've bought a few generators, and returned them all until I bought the Honda. The 3KW version (if you need AC, 2KW if you aren't) is great and has a econo mode that revs the generator down to make it as quiet as possible.

Go Solar... its quiet and dont cost fuel every month.. my payback on my system was just over 2 years... I have 4-125 watt panels, a blue sky charge controller, Magnum inverter and 6-6 volt batteries.... and best of all when I run my system NO NOISE...

Welcome FastFiveO,

I have a 26BH too, a 2011 model. I've been traveling around and living it in since the middle of November, and so far no problems. This is my first TT too, and there's been quite a learning curve figuring things out.

About the generator, like Jim said, the Honda eu3000i generators have a good reputation, as do the small inverter Yamaha generators. I haven't gotten one yet, but have done quite a bit of research.
I'll probably get one of the eu2000i generators to start with, and if that's not enough, that model allows you to piggyback to a second generator for double the output. And I believe you can get 2 of the 2000 watt generators for about the same price as one 3000 watt generator, so you'd get more bang for the buck.

Enjoy the new toy!

Ok so I updated my profile, and I thank u guys for ur input on generators, I want a generator that I can run the whole TT on some people around here told me I dont want anything under 4000 watts witch I really dont know if that is necessary

Welcome to the Jayco Owners Forum FastFiveO! Although we have a generator for home emergency use, we haven't used it in the tt. COngrats on your new Jayco
