Sponsored vid, but a nice departure from all the usual youtube reviews. Shows gear setup, mounting the crossbars, yakima skyrise+awning, and bike hitch. Goal zero and Dometic fridge too!

2000W is huge, folks with the 1000W Jackery (for example) are already going big.WOW that Goalzero power station unit is a $2000 piece of gear

My Gas Ryobi Inverter Generator can peak @ 2200 watts, runs @ 2000.WOW that Goalzero power station unit is a $2000 piece of gear

You're comparing that to a battery, essentially.My Gas Ryobi Inverter Generator can peak @ 2200 watts, runs @ 2000.
I've ran a 6000 btu window a/c with it at a fuel rate of 1 gallon per 7.5 hours.
It was only $550.
No long recharge time, I give it a 15 minute cool down and a three minute refuel and off I go.
It's very quiet. I park it 50 feet away with a proper extension cord.
Just sayin'
It ain't quiet if you're at a campground, or have campers even remotely in earshot. I don't mind generators so much at home, but out in the wild, they're about as uncool as it gets. I have a 1200w battery station similar to the Goal Zero. It charges in an hour. It's not dead silent, it has a fan for cooling, but you can't hear it at about 30 feet away. I've never tried to run it off solar, not really sure how that would go. And yeah, it was pricey, but I really didn't want to deal with having to carry gas. It also weighs a hell of a lot less than a comparably sized generator, and doesn't make a mess or get greasy. Just kinda depends on priorities, I guess. They'll get cheaper eventually.My Gas Ryobi Inverter Generator can peak @ 2200 watts, runs @ 2000.

Roger that. I never considered a campground environment.It ain't quiet if you're at a campground, or have campers even remotely in earshot.

Member dividend? I thought we were just getting credits this year because REI didn't make a profit? https://www.adventure-journal.com/2021/02/rei-didnt-make-a-profit-in-2020/Ya I don't think they need 2000w to keep that fridge running, especially if they're using the bronco sport as a sag wagon and charging the station via 12v DC while following the bikers. Maybe if they were to leave the vehicle for like 5 days stationary, but even then you should be able to plug in solar panels to charge it too. Most of the overland rig videos I've seen don't go above 1000w so I think that piece is overkill, but then again we'll see if it is or isn't in the series when episodes come out.
Regardless, I'm excited for this series from REI because I love REI too. (Just got my member dividend the other day $$$)
Maybe I meant the 10% back on 2020 purchases for being a member, not a dividend hahaMember dividend? I thought we were just getting credits this year because REI didn't make a profit? https://www.adventure-journal.com/2021/02/rei-didnt-make-a-profit-in-2020/
Thank you so much for sharing the review of Ryobi 2200 watt inverter generator, I was looking forward to any honest review about this. I'm thinking about buying a Ryobi generator, maybe 2. The Honda 2000 watt units are popular. I have to wonder why anyone wanting to purchase a good inverter genset but isn't willing to ante up for proven winners from Honda or Yamaha just doesn't then opt for a generally well regarded yet much less costly Champion inverter genset which does enjoy reliable manufacturer supportMy Gas Ryobi Inverter Generator can peak @ 2200 watts, runs @ 2000.

What battery do you have?It ain't quiet if you're at a campground, or have campers even remotely in earshot.

The LiFePo battery stations are nice. The larger wattage you can use for home emergencies and brown outs. I would think that anything over 1,000 watts is a good starting point. 1,500 is better Because it delivers more amperes to run power tools that require 15amps, which you could use at the jobsite or in an RV. 1500watts is a good starter if your building out multiple units. Depends on your needs, I’m waiting for the price to drop and I have a Honda inverter that I’ve had for years, when I need some remote power.It ain't quiet if you're at a campground, or have campers even remotely in earshot.
