I have one installed on top of Herrick Mtn doing an average of 4 hours a day backing up a transmitter site.  This winter will be the test.  So far we have almost 500 hours on it (first oil change coming up) and no problems.  This is a remote site with only  snowmobile access in winter.  The gen is doing great on fuel economy. About .7 gph at 2300 watt load.

In the past some have recommended a Coleman off grid model as I remember. I’m also wondering how the smaller Kohlers, and the like, have been holding up for off grid use over the past few years.
