The Best Generator for Van Life - Honda EU10i

Solar power is the standard choice for off-grid power, but for us this just wasn't a viable option at this moment in time - as you'll find out in the video.

Power is a super important aspect for us, and many others, when being off-grid, and the Honda EU10i allows us to power up our entire van and all our working gadgets so we don't miss a beat.

I have had a Honda EX650 for years. Always starts first pull even when it's not been used for weeks. Honda make brilliant generators.

Another cracking video you two. Well put together and very informative. Looking forward to more content. All the best.

Just came across your vid...We have the experiences with the Honda i10...my non profit ordeal...it is an absolute convenience to have this little generator in your van...we have enjoyed its smooth and silent operation...a good powersource for adventurers...

The Honda EU10i in its natural habitat...🍂🍁

Had one for 7 years. Starts on the first pull pretty much every time. Just make sure to service it regularly.

Hey Theo, Thanks for the info! As usual I love all your indie projects stuff (especially the tours!). I got 'a bit posh' with my purchase of the Honda EU30is!! I know!! ....Maybe overkill for my truck conversion but getting to the point - I have used this on eco mode all day with loads of power tools for the conversion and I always think 'better go see how much petrol I'm burnt though!'...I'm always pleasantly surprised how good these generators are. The EU30is is only 91db too but to be fair as you said, walk away twenty feet and it's soooo quiet. I bought the 'is' model so I wouldn't hassle other people if I was too close to the population but everyone who notices what I'm using are very impressed with the Honda EU models! Next 'smaller' conversion will defo have a EU10 or 20. Thanks again =]

I also have one from 1999, only oil changed every 100 hours of operation, air filter cleaned, spark plug cleaned with a wire brush (the same Denso still the original from the factory), made in Japan, what can I say after 24 years, it works flawlessly with the mention, regardless of the temperature, it starts from the first

Great clear and concise review pal. You just saved me a lot of time and futile research. I was thinking of the 2k eu but like you, I don't think I'll need it. All I want is to charge ebike batteries and run a laptop. Everything else is 12v. Everyone is telling me that I don't need 240v but don't see how I can charge ebike batteries without it. Surely I'd need either a hookup, a pure sine inverter or a gennie, which would also be really handy in emergencies. Cheers.

Honda has always been a very reliable brand. Excellent choice, thanks for the product review :)

Thank you. Iam in germany also love this Generator

[johncreen]

Great video, I use a generator and was told to put “ethanol shield” in with the petrol because the ethanol in petrol is hard on generator engines,

Great review Theo ...thinking about one for my V Dub .

[johndillingham]

Great generator. When storing in the back, does it release any Petrol fumes into the van?

[TravelTrollsTV]

Great tip for us as we have been trying to decide what to go for. I think lll look at the 2000w option though depending on its size. Many thanks.

Glad I just found your channel, really helpful advice.😊

May I ask about fuel costs please? I noticed you mentioned using a 5 litre bottle, but how often lol? I too would be doing exactly the same thing as you guys, I'd be working online, 7 days a week, from caravan I just bought and trying to get a rough estimate on fuel prices. (For both petrol and oil used)

Don't mean to sound cheeky asking about money, but no one seems to mention this? Any advice appreciated, thank you.

And good luck with your beautiful channel. 👌👍👏👏👏

Great review! 😍 also...random question is English Theo's first language?

[goonluv]

I use this its the best ever super quiet

[TREADtheglobe]

Great informative video Theo - thanks. We are hoping that the solar we have added to Trudy will keep us charged up enough so so we can use our laptops (like you we'll be using them a lot !) but in case they don't then this option looks great - and it's small.
