They are good generators…

I really like the 5000..

Thanks for watching!

I agree.. My 3500 is 3 yrs old and still runs like new

Wow! That is a bunch of hours

4000 hrs is awesome

Thanks for watching!

You have to order it and install..

It's harbor freight, they sell plenty of tires and parts. You can definitely rig up something even cheaper than replacements. I will say that I keep mine in the back of my truck so it's been bumped around a ton, been pulled sideways a bunch and my wheels are still perfect. When I went to purchase the Predator 5,000 I was actually looking to buy the Predator 3,500 and I made a last minute decision to go with the 5,000 just because I could tell the 5,000 had WAY better quality wheels than the 3,500. Honestly the wheels are just a bonus, you could drag that generator around on the ground and it probably wouldn't feel much different than it does with tires. They're decent and rugged enough. I wouldn't worry too much about the tires. They'd be easy to replace with a few different tires that harbor freight sells.

I tried a 3500 and a 2000 and bought the big connector between the two. But after reading the instructions it said they both had to be the same. So I returned the connector.

yes both genis have to be the same.

Campers are not generally 240v. They are 120v x 50a = 6,000w.

@@twaflyboy1 They are two legs of 120 at 50amps each.. It's a 240 volt plug and input.. Where as a 30amp is only one 30 amp circuit.. 100 amps, vs 30... That's why the 9500 doesn't care and works better.. It's able to put out more current over all .

break it in with lots of oil changes. i have 2 3500 predictors both i changed the oil at 5 mins then 10 then 20 then 30mins and 1 hours at 2 hours i did the final oil change with no metal in it. take the used oil put it on a paper plate and look at it from all angles in the bright sun to look for metal shavings when you see none your good to go. i do oil changes every 100 hours they both run smooth with over 5k hours on both. when storing always run them dry.

@@timg2973 thanks. I plan on doing that for sure. I also purchased a magnetic dip stick too to grab any metal fragments..

Mine works good since last three years.

I got just a little over 1800 hours on a Predator 3500 and it's still running strong

That’s understandable. Think it may be the luck of the draw with predator. I’ve got a 2000 predator I’ve had for 7 years. Haven’t changed the oil but twice. That’s laziness on my part but I use it for work and it just keeps working like a charm.

If your need IS 5000? Buy 8000... I bought one Westinghouse 9k... Lasted 2 years with break in, severe use. Bought 28000 Westinghouse runs até 35 percent up to 50 percent output, runs flawlessly with 6 thd on load.

I’ve had 5 it’s called a warranty

It comes with different jets for carb.. not 100% sure on propane

Thanks!

Agree and a 50 amp plug

On one video here on KZfaq a guy ran a full bottle of propane for 9 hrs at half load. Gas I haven’t seen yet. But I will be camping soon with my 5000 and I should know more lol

2.7 gallon tank of I saw it right

Victron Multiplus2 inverter with 2 400amp hour Litime. Camper also has Renogy flexible solar panels..

@@RockyRohde thanks. How about the display/screen

Victron also

yes check out a Champion inverter 4500...fits under my tonneau

Both the Predator 3500 and Predator 5000 fit under my tonneau cover.

@@barrthom603 what model truck. My duel fuel 4500 champion inverter won't fit under my 3500 GMC Denali with a Retrax Tonneau

@@razorwired130 GM must have a smaller bed then Ford. Fits under an F150 and F350.

Pulsar Gd400BN dual fuel 4000 watts weight 474 lbs no electric start

The champion has a manual choke, the hf is automatic, so I can automate it to my battery bank.

It has a clean sine wave..

Oh sorry I just saw you have soft starts.

Yes on both units

@@RockyRohde Well I tried this generator on my friends exact 1992 rig and it works on his air conditioner. Not sure if he has a Soft Start. Well I’m loving it 😍! Thanks for the video again.

Yeah I have soft starts and it will run both of mine..

What does "soft start" mean?

1100-1300 last time I looked

It's just a Westinhouse clone. Made in the same Chinese factory

Yes I do…

​@RockyRohde you can run 50amp on that 9500 see it all the time

Not sure why you say that. Many people have several thousand hours on theirs with no issue.

i do see a lot of them on the food trucks at work and they are super quiet.@@lemichaeljohnson2069

Then you will need to figure out how big of one you need. Do you have central ac? Or window units. For a house you are going to need a 8000 watter for sure if you have a big house. If you don’t care to much about ac or use a window unit to cool down a room or two in the summer ( Which is what I do) then yes a 5000 will work limiting things running while start up occurs. Like I don’t run the ac and the microwave at the same time. I think it could handle it but I prefer to do it just in case

Why is it garbage? Thinking about buying.

@@Gsxrtrix because the predator is cheap CHINEESE garbage. The cummins is made in freedom lovin AMERICA!

Several people have had great luck and several thousand hours on theirs. Not sure if you just had a bad one

Said that in the beginning of the video..

All I heard was 97 percent of video was the harbor freight generator.

No one cares what you think. It’s their money. They can spend it how they choose.

@@josephfisher2203 you go camping to go camping that's not camping. And who cares what you think ?

Well my wife won’t do back pack camping so for her I have to have ac lol. But I do like to tent camp when the nights are cool. I can’t do hot weather camping anymore
