RV Ready means our generator has either a TT-30R or a 14-50R outlet so we can plug our RV directly into our generator without the need for a separate adapter. Here are they
We bought A-iPower SUA12000E Portable Generator for the occasional power outage and have used it for 3 hours of outage on two occasions plus about 20 short runs for testing and wiring it to the house. We don't have long-term usage but when we needed it, it worked perfectly.
This is a pretty decent unit overall. It's not silent but it's pretty quiet. It comes empty of fluids, so make sure you add the required .38 Qts BEFORE you try and start it. Also, read the directions before you try and start it. There are a few things that you wouldn't think would keep it from starting that actually will. We will add a detailed review soon. In the meantime, you can read some of our other generator reviews too.

This generator is great. This model is best for camping, easy to start, very quiet compared to others, starts right up, one third the price of the comparable Honda,
When we were hit with the "Halloween Storm" that shut down all of New England we had no power (no one did) for 3 weeks. No gas, no lights, no heat, and limbs falling everywhere with hip-high snow. Conn, RI, Mass, and parts of NY. So, I bailed for our cabin on the coast, thank God it was the one place that had power.
This Briggs and Stratton s3500 Portable Generator is made well and the handle, wheels, and stand were so easy to put on. The generator starts easily and runs the needed things during a black-out. After trying other generators, this one is the best! We will add a detailed review soon.

This Champion 100402 2000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator have many facilities. We were in the path of Derecho! Not only suffered house and property damage but lost power for an extended period of time. Hooked this generator up to the refrigerator and our deep freezer. Definitely quieter than the rest of the neighborhood generators. Very easy to use. Fairly lightweight. I had no problem lifting, moving, or starting it. Thinking of getting a second one!

PROS:
Clean power thanks to inverter technology
4000 starting watts and 3500 running watts in a package that weighs just under 97lbs fully assembled
Remote start/ shut down
Eco mode significantly lowers noise and fuel consumption if you don’t have power-hungry appliances/ tools connected
RV-ready with 30 amp twist lock outlet
Parallel connection with another compatible Champion generator via parallel connection kit (purchased separately)
Only 64 dBA of noise when measured at a distance of 23 feet (without any load connected, with a heavy load it’s closer to 68 or 70 decibels)
3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support
All outlets have flip-up rubber covers to protect them from dust and moisture
CONS:
The relay for the remote start will drop out of standby mode after 12 hours of inactivity, so you have to walk up to the unit and reactivate it.
I read reports of some customers who have a malfunction with the low oil sensor that causes the generator to auto shut off after just a few minutes. This is very rare, and you should check oil levels to see if the sensor is malfunctioning.
I have owned a Champion 100692 Generator since 2013, and it has been a solid machine. It’s a “regular” generator, so though powerful it’s also pretty noisy. I’d been wanting a smaller inverter generator for a few years now to be able to QUIETLY run smaller stuff during power outages (among other uses).

We bought Champion 4375 Portable Inverter Generator without seeing any reviews. However, with the storm coming time was short and availability on other models was sketchy. Their delivery was fast. just 2 days. So onto the generator.
