Tiny Camper Off Grid Camping Must Have, SPORTSMAN 800 Watt Inverter Generator!

We just said goodbye to our Harbor Freight 2000 watt generator and we said hello to our new Sportsman 800 watt inverter generator. For us, this is all the generator we need and it has done exactly what we needed a generator to do while we are camping off grid!

I love that it takes up less room so I can buy more stuff we don’t need on our adventures.

Thanks for the video, really impressive that tiny Gen, looks like a suitcase, I guess that kind of little generator sips the gas and last a long time. Can’t wait to see your A/C modifications video to use the little generator.

Thanks for helping spend my money, Sam! Honestly, I had been looking for something like this for some time. I did invest in a 4Kw dual fuel generator, but it's as much for home backup as anything else. It won't run the big AC on top of the Class C, but for charging batteries and power stations it's great. It's especially useful here in the NE where sunshine isn't so plentiful at times. You get a gold medal! 🏅

Incredible price. It's nice to have a solar, battery and gas combo.

I have the same one. It’s been great. I added a small tach and hour meter.

I'm needing that same thing to be able to power up a 200L when solar is doesn't work. Thanks for the review!

Very nice overview thanks for the video I've subscribed and looking forward to the modification to run the AC❤

Thanks for getting this information out there. I have had a Honda 2000 for more than a decade, and it was a real lifesaver a time or two when the power was out at home for days in the winter. I have never taken it camping, though, because it is pretty heavy for me to lug around. This is a much more realistic size. It won't run my AC, but I don't camp much when it is really hot. The Boil was an exception.

I bought my first Sportsman's about 4 years ago... haven't used it a lot but it always starts right up when I need it !
Back in May, 2024 I saw an ad at Tractor Supply for one for $149.00... I couldn't resist !
1000W INVERTER GASOLINE GENERATOR, SKU# 1694825, Quantity: 1

Subtotal: $149.99

Fantastic little Inverter Generator !

Good video Sam. The same generator up in Canada is over $450 CDN.

Your ideas are sound, I have thought about the same thing, the only thing that made me go with the predator 2000 was the run time and I have the ability to run more than what I need right now, keep up the good work. Enjoy

I recently purchased this same model generator for the same reasons that you did. I have a 5K BTU cheapest at the big box store window air conditioner unit, and my generator will easily power it. I am curious about your mod and look forward to your video. Nice job, I always enjoy your content!

[cafepuya]

Just got one from Walmart online at $159.99. Also have a Midea 5000BTU window AC but my new sportsman can’t handle the start.. dies immediately. Can you show us your modification? Great videos tho.

He's not kidding.. If you only have one generator. This is the one to have. Get a bigger one, duel fuel for the big supply needs, But even if you have a large Generator. you should have a gas sipper and this is the one.

Looking for the video on how to start the ac

Just ordered one from TSC for $190 shipped. If it blows up I guess I will go buy a Honda.
