Honda generator
- Thread starter david h. jarvis
- Start date
All over the place. $500-$2000.
Paying more knowing it is working and running is a plus. Note the fuel pump on that one. Parts cost $$$. If you need to fix anything. The
muffler is also a plus.
If it is close to you, and runs well. It is probably a good price. A new rebuilt one is like $4000, and new onans are that or more. So you have
to make your judgment if it ia worth it to you.

Talk to Paul at Pinella Products.
He is an expert on these generators.
I have the EV 4010 and am real happy with it.
That price sounds reasonable to me if it has low hours.

On the plus side, they're Honda reliable (Motorcycle, not autos), and being water cooled quiets them a bit.
On the minus side they're expensive, parts are expensive, they're 3600 RPM which overcomes the water jacked noise reduction, the cooling system makes
them complex.
You get to decide whether they're worth it or not. The people who have them are for the most part happy with them. I've owned too much Honda stuff
over the years to be interested in one.

Harry,
When I was buying EV6010's it was a few years ago. I was doing craigslist searches down here in Texas. I believe I was paying between $600 and $800 US
per generator. But they all needed some minor repairs. One was a oil leek at the oil pump. Not really a pain to replace the gasket, but the generator
stater had to be removed to access the oil pump.
If it runs smooth and doesn't leek, it should be good to go. That one is a good one for a RV, because of the 2 circuits. Some Honda's are 220 volts.
They are not any quieter than the Onan, they are a little more high pitched because of the higher RPM that they run at. Most of the noise on the Honda
is from the cooling fan in the engine compartment (not the radiator fan).
Pinellas power products (Paul) 727-439-2872 is the place to go to for any tech advice or parts on the Honda. Parts can be bought cheaper on the
interweb, but I like going through Paul for all.
If it makes any difference, I have one that I went completely through to replace my Onan. But the Onan WILL NOT DIE!!! So the Honda still sits and
waits.....
Good luck,
Scott

My brother has a 6000 in his 5th wheel that I installed a number of years ago. Actually took it out of his previous fiver I'd installed it in a few
years prior to that. Long story short, he's about to buy another fifth wheel and has decided not to 'let' me re-re install the gen set. I guess only
putting about 10 hours on it in some 15 or so years (maybe more, it was new when I first installed it) doesn't necessitate a generator. I told him to
remove the generator before trading it in as there would probably be a market for a 10 hour Honda 6000. Should know more in a couple of months.

Well Johnny, if you've seen an EV4010 you've just about seen the EV6010. Lots of them in GMC's though they run at 3600 vs 1800 so the noise isn't much
different.

I’ve been doing some research on our coaches regarding the power, and it directly relates to the generator (or sort of).
A Great Laker who was employed by GM when our coaches were built insists that they were all made with 50 amp service.
I’ve done quite a deep dive on the parts book and the service guides and he appears to be correct.
The only cord listed is 50 amp, and the number of coaches fitted with a 30 amp plug in the 50 amp cutout (in the cord bin on the side of the coach) is very high.
Does anyone have additional information?
The 30 amp cord seem to be an “previous owner” convenience add on.
But some things don’t make sense. Why have a 30 amp cord (3.6 kW) when you have a 6kW generator?
Whereas 6kW is very conveniently 50 amperes?
I understand two air conditioners requiring more than 30 amp service.

OK Dolph,
Here are some comments....
As far as the GM paper work goes, all the GMC fitted out coaches were 50 amp. Even the 23s (like mine) were originally fitted with 14-50, 4 wire
cable and a dual breaker in the box.
This, the single waste tank, and the sleep under-way capability were all part of the motorhome type RV vision of the coming way of travel. It was
believed in the 70s that 50amp was the way of the future because of increasing electrical loads. The single waste tank was a direct response to the
dwindling number of places that grey water could be dumped on the ground. And the sleep underway is because they found that many liked ability to
long haul and co-drive. A GMC makes this a very practical mode of travel. (Don't try to sleep in the back of a "C" underway.)
The 50 amp is the one that they got right. (IMNSHO) All of the new monster coaches are 50amp and campgrounds that cannot do 50 are being bypassed.
(or at least getting low marks on reviews) There are now systems available to start a monster inverter or the APU when you are going to trip the 30
Amp post.
Many of the coaches upfit by others went with 30 amp feeds and goofy stuff to run a second A/C unit. This allowed a way lighter shore power cable.
I, for one (and maybe 1 only), do not find the 4- cable that hard to handle unless it is below 20°F (-7°C), but then, I did spend a lot of my life
handling dock lines and diver's hoses.
And, at this point, We could be the only people I know that have slept the off-watch crew underway, but the interstate system has grown a lot even in
the last couple of decades.

Dolph, your friend is correct, kinda. GMC built coaches WERE fitted with
that miserable 50 amp service cord.
But the coaches that were up fitted by Avion, Coachman, and a few
others, were fitted with 30 amp service cords, and a whole bunch of
different style breaker boxes and 12 volt fuse layouts. Also "BUZZ BOXES"
were somewhat different, as were battery locations. Makes life interesting
when you work on a bunch of different coaches.

I, for one, am glad that GM fitted the 50 Amp power cable. I have had an electrician install a 50 Amp/240 Volt receptacle (and a 30 Amp/120 Volt) on the side of my garage. I therefore have the capability of running BOTH A/C units and anything else in my coach when hooked up here at home OR at any RV park with 240 Volt service. I cut most of the original power cable off at about five or six feet and installed a new male 50A plug on it. The remainder of the original cable now has a female connector on the cut off end and provides a much more easily handled (and stored) extension cable. I also bought a 30 foot 240 Volt extension from the RV Adventure store that is also fairly easily handled and stored and have a total of 50 feet plus of power cable available.
The 30 Amp outlet would be good for any friend with only that service to hook up in my driveway!
In this part of the USA, two A/C units running full tilt are an absolute necessity during summer temps of 100 plus!

Dolph, your friend is correct, kinda. GMC built coaches WERE fitted with
that miserable 50 amp service cord.
But the coaches that were up fitted by Avion, Coachman, and a few
others, were fitted with 30 amp service cords, and a whole bunch of
different style breaker boxes and 12 volt fuse layouts. Also "BUZZ BOXES"
were somewhat different, as were battery locations. Makes life interesting
when you work on a bunch of different coaches.

I picked one up in Tucson for Rob Mueller, for $400.00 and delivered it as far as San Antonio. I think all it needed was a coolant overflow tank and
a muffler. I know it ran well and put out power. I don't know if he's done anything with it yet

A little late to the party here, but my $.02
The EV6010 is a solid generator. It runs well and makes power.
It's also loud. Like lawnmower loud. The onan is much quieter in my opinion.
My ev6010 is now running dual mufflers and is bearable, but the onan is a much more pleasant noise in my opinion.
Before adding another muffler I had to walk around and apologize to people before I started the generator in a campground.

Honda has a higher RPM
Noise can be attenuated by different mufflers and accustical insulation.
We have a Catalitic Muffler that eliminates that exhaust smell from the
Onan Generators.

I can see how that catalytic convertor muffler would smell better, but is it quiet? Seems like it is much smaller that the regular muffler with ?less
baffling inside. Did anyone at Amana have it installed on an Onan? Would have liked to have heard it running live.

About 3 people heard the unit and felt it was about the same noise level.
We are requesting a better attinuation to bring the noise level below the
origional.
