Powerhorse 4500 Watt Inverter Generator
Powerhorse 4500 Watt Inverter Generator
The Powerhorse 4500 Watt Inverter Generator as the name implies has a surge capacity of 4500 watts with a normal run time of 3500 watts. This wattage was important to ensure we could run at least one air conditioner, the battery charger, a TV, the MoFi 4500, and the residential refrigerator at the same time. We wanted something around 100 pounds in total weight with battery start. We also wanted a standard 30 campground style connector where we could use our 30AMP to 50AMP dog bone connecting the generator to the 5th wheel. The generator had to be an inverter style. We wanted the cleaner power of an inverter to ensure devices such as the TVs, refrigerator and computing devices would operate without any issues.

Powerhorse 4500 Watt Inverter Generator and 5th Wheel Use
We were very pleased with the performance of the Powerhorse 4500 Watt Inverter Generator. The unit operating at full load was surprisingly quite. So quite, that we could stand next to it and have a full conversation without raising our voice. Also, just the ever so slightest drone of the engine could be heard inside the 5th wheel at full load. At a distance of 40 feet, the generator was hardly noticeable.
Power performance exceeded our expectations. With the high efficiency air conditioners, we were able to operate both plus the residential refrigerator and pulled less than 15 amps at less than 1900 watts.
We did remove the wheel and for now have it secured in the bed of the 5th wheel. We’ll be looking at other options to make access and storage easier over the coming months.
