Can it run an RV air conditioner?

It can start many smaller RV AC units, but a large 13,500 BTU unit with other loads may exceed its 4000 peak watts. Check your AC's starting surge before relying on it.

Is it safe for laptops and TVs?

Yes. Total harmonic distortion is under 3%, which is clean enough for laptops, TVs and phones.

How long does it run on a tank?

Up to about 7 hours at quarter load on the 1.69-gallon tank. Expect less time under heavier loads.

Does it have an RV outlet?

Yes, it has a TT-30R RV outlet, two 20A household outlets and two USB ports.

How does it compare with the iGen4500?

The iGen4500 offers more peak watts and a larger tank for longer run time, at more weight. The iGen4000c is the lighter, simpler choice for smaller loads.

What safety shutdowns does it have?

It shuts down automatically on low oil and on dangerous carbon monoxide levels, and includes overload protection.
