Oh that Kipor. I work in the RV world and I've sold 'em all. Want to lose your mind on repairs, mostly voltage reg.,Kipor will send you over the dark side. When you buy any gen set make sure it's a name you've heard of. And the little things matter. Like when your done with it, turn off the fuel and let it run out of gas. The ethanol in pump fuel will gag out the carb in no time. Change the oil often. Air cooled motors use oil for cooling also so it breakes down fast. Most only use one qt. so no big deal. I see alot of people mount it on the jack in front, if so get a cover for it. There a nice one at Northern Tools that works on most. Realy the best I've seen is a Coleman Micro Lite. Very quite and runs very little fuel, has all the power you'll ever need. But they are pricey. How ever when you sell/trade in it jacks the price up real well. Gen sets are like servos, you get what you pay for, plain and simple.
