I just bought this unit from Costco, attached the unit through the RV quick connect and no problem starting the unit up.

Managed to pick up 1 from Costco just before they sold out. Storm hit us hard and power will be out for several days. So im using this to power my fridge so I dont lose all the groceries I got the day before the storm. Lovely item

thanks Matt. Good video and overview

Thinking about getting it. We have a few power outage in the winter

I got the model just up from that one (also at Costco) but the WH03242. Initials: Didn’t like having to do so much to get to the oil, (initial filling, and future checking/changing) which isn’t very quick or convenient as compared to other manufacturers. The propane has a solenoid and wire that has to be plugged into the side. I ONLY intend for propane use so that storage without worrying about the gasoline going bad/using stabilizer. I don’t like that you only get a 24-inch hose for the propane, and a longer one is NOT available from Firman. (Called them to ask)The sound levels are as expected/advertised. Loading passed fine, no issues. Going to see about making a longer propane supply hose, but whether it’s okay without the solenoid plug remains a question.

30' away but between two wall structures which could echo as well. good deal

Bought this exact unit for my 33 foot Rockwood trailer, I hope it runs through ac.

I just orderes the WH3300. I have a 26 foot Rockwood Mini lite. How is the generator worming out for your rig?

Just got one, runs great with the battery starter, I ran a test on propane electric load up to 3050 watts and it took it like a champ. But there is no way in hell I can make it start using the recoil with propane. I have not try gasoline and I am not planing to for the moment. Have you try to start it using the recoil?

What connection do you need to connect to RV propane?

Pull the choke, charge the starter, then hit the starter switch?

I've Had my 3200 now for 4 years, It is a well made Generator , do not leave the gas in this thing if you are not using it for a time , It will wax up your carb!!!!

Why does it need that extra solenoid cable that other propane generators don't use? Seems proprietary.

Whats your experience with run time on a 20lb propane tank? The spec says it only consumes 2.5L per hour at full load. So basically a 20lb propane tank should be able to last 30 hours according to that. I would be VERY surprised if that was true

I just got one delivered and it wouldn't start with the electric start. Called them and they said the battery has to be charged first. Nothing in the manual tells of this. Been on the charger for three hours and nothing. From your video it looks you just held the battery power button restore while hitting the start.

How much propane for how long to run generator?

Am I missing something online as far as draining the oil? It doesn’t really seem like there is a way to do it without it all collecting inside the maintenance excess area. Is it just a terrible design or is there something I missing to remove so that it can drain without being a huge mess?

Ahhh. Also, the manual says the oil capacity is 20.3 ounces but the bottle they ship is 18. Any help on that? Thank you for this video, it's helpful and appreciated.

Great video. I just ordered the WH3300. Im wondering why there is a 3200 like yours and a 3300. I know its just a 100 watts. Saved me alot of time unboxing and set up. Did you break it in? I have the Firman 9000 and broke it in. Ran it for about 30 minutes and changed oil. Upon inspecting the oil, i did see metal flakes in it which is to be expected with a new motor. Word is it helps on the wear of the motor, so what the heck, quart of oil is cheap, so I would reccomend it if you havent already done so.Thanks for the very informative vid. Im a saltwater fisherman in South Texas.

@@kinetocore Installed the A/C Micro-Air Easy Start. Fairly simple to install if you are comfortable with schematics and wiring diagrams. I took the Micro-Air install wiring diagram and the wiring diagram printed on my A/C unit (sticker under the cover) then sat down and wrote my own wiring diagram based on the two documents. From there I went and installed the Micro-Air. From start to finish 30-60 minutes. Once I confirmed that the Micro-Air was working, I tested the generator at the house. First I tried propane then gasoline. The A/C unit ran on both with no issue. We took the travel trailer and generator out to the desert this summer with 115F ambient air temp. The generator struggled under propane but worked great on gas. When we left the desert and the ambient air dropped down to 90F, propane worked fine. It should be noted that the generator explicitly states that continuous operation is normal up to 104F ambient and max operating temperature is 122F ambient. We were pushing those limits so I'm not surprised. Prior to purchasing I did "lots of math" trying to match the A/C and generator sizing but, in my experience, sometimes it just takes a "try it and see" approach.
