depends on "load" among other things

my lil 1000 kW Honda runs all night when we use it to charge the two deep cycle batteries on the travel trailer. So quiet you can set it right outside and not lose sleep - no complaints from other campsites either. Runs the microwave at 20% power...but not much more. Two units and be "pigtailed" together to run in tandem too.


Our 5000kW Coleman ER (extended run) Plus runs about 7-9 hrs on a tank with a heavy load. It runs our entire house (except the AC). I just plug it into the side of the house and run though a GenTran. Considerably louder....but worth it
