The Best Generator for Van Life – Honda EU10i
The Best Generator for Van Life – Honda EU10i
Solar power is the standard choice for off-grid power, but for us this just wasn’t a viable option at this moment in time – as you’ll find out in the video.
Power is a super important aspect for us, and many others, when being off-grid, and the Honda EU10i allows us to power up our entire van and all our working gadgets so we don’t miss a beat.

What is it like in terms of oil consumption?
I did something similar with Avasva solutions.
change the oil every 20 hours every time and valve adjust after one year and new air filter ever year then it will last .other wize it will dye I really mean it good luck they are freaken great. Ive had 4 of them .flogged them for 17 years ya hoo
Is there still no modern generator?
How old is the Honda EU 10i? Decades? A quarter century?
There is no more modern technology, is that the end of the possibilities?
I do not think so. See the Yamaha Giggle/Vox.
This is a 50cc scooter. But it has a 4-stroke engine, injection, water cooling etc. Like a modern car engine.
And of course an electric starter.
First valve timing maintenance interval after more than 17,000 miles.
Water cooling takes up space, but it improves cooling and soundproofing. And theoretically, you could mount an external cooler outside of a sound insulation box.
So please a small mobile generator like the EU 10i, but with:
* Injector
* Water cooling
* Electric start
* Optional simple operation with LPG.
Hi. It would help me if I could see a vid of stuff actually connected to the genny, and working. What stuff, how many stuffs? Power demands and so on.
And just a small plea to every presenter who asks, usually the cousins (US) , please don’t ask me what’s going on… the answer is so obvious, I’m looking at a YouTube vid at the time.
hi bro if we use this genrator daily continuesly 7 hours then tell me life of this ganretor
Great vlog and I agree this model of generator is excellent
I may notice one of the quietest mechanical generators around
Wait, after 10-20 hours of use, you said for the first use, right? And then how often after that? Every 3,000 hours?
I’ve just watched another video in which the presenter said that generators won’t power a heater or even a regular kettle.
My caravan only has a fan heater.
If a generator that you plug into a caravan or motorhone doesn’t power the plug sockets for basic things like kettles and heaters, what’s the point? You may as well just charge phones and things from the vehicle while you’re travelling along.
Great video.
can you run a microwave oven out of it?
Great clear and concise review pal. You just saved me a lot of time and futile research. I was thinking of the 2k eu but like you, I don’t think I’ll need it. All I want is to charge ebike batteries and run a laptop. Everything else is 12v. Everyone is telling me that I don’t need 240v but don’t see how I can charge ebike batteries without it. Surely I’d need either a hookup, a pure sine inverter or a gennie, which would also be really handy in emergencies. Cheers.
Ive seen a lot of solar panel setups, and they are almost comical as far as usefulness. Not to mention the fuel economy hit from having them mounted on the roof.
I’m looking at a Battle Born lithium battery with the EU10 to charge it up when needed. I already have a EU2000, but the size of the EU10 is appealing 🤔
How do you charge the leisure batteries with the AC this genny is providing? What components do you have inside the van that re-convert the AC to DC for charging the battery?
Thanks 🙂
Great review Thanks
You say 8 hours run time on eco mode how many watts used ? and how many liters used ?
now you have solor on your camper do you still jus the honda
We’re super stoked to release NEW STICKERS on our shop! Check them out here: https://www.theindieprojects.com/shop/ 😊🙌
Bro is that a phone in yur pocket
Can you make an update on this video? just asking:)
*Choke.
*_Taj Honda EU 10i agregati je super._*
Did you know you can get a conversion kit that allows you to run the generator on lpg ? Its about £150 ?
Does it make the van smell of gasoline while inside and not using it? Also, are there any possible ignition on super hot days (probably just paranoia).
How many watts
£800 quid!!?
Pls what kind if generator could be installed inside a container.cuz I got a salon and we used but a container so I don’t know if it’s possible to install inside the container
you will not be able to power 2 MacBooks pro on solar panels ? from what I know apple comes with 61 WATT anyway – you will only need a solar power to draw 60 watts which is 20 @ 3 amps that is fairly cheap solar panel u can get on Ali for $120 , Vmp) 1175*540*3MM comes with Alligator and pv cablles both 3m long 2.5mm² … buy better one and you can even run a hair dryer from your whole roof in a sunny day .
Hello 🙂
Is it able to start the caravan split Ac with 2500kw?
Thank you in Advance
Just came across your vid…We have the experiences with the Honda i10…my non profit ordeal…it is an absolute convenience to have this little generator in your van…we have enjoyed its smooth and silent operation…a good powersource for adventurers…
220 volt is good but the same in 120 volt no much power 2000is is better options
>^..^< Would you think it is also a good idea to always visualy check the engine oil before you start it?
I do disagree with what he’s saying about solar not being enough… 1x200w panel and a car battery should be more than enough for 2 macs and a couple lights for 12 hours each day.
why not charge the leisure battery with a ctek and the van, it will charge it while driving an also can be linked to solar aswell
What is the height of this generator?
I own this very generator. I have also lived off grid for 22 years now, running a few laptops is pretty easy. Try a washing machine, an air compressor or table saw… my house has 1250 watts of solar, my rv has 110 watts and the well has 110 watts. The house has a fridge/freezer and a separate chest freezer and all the other Norml stuff. The rv has a grape solar fridge, tv and a laptop along with lights, fans, water pump..etc… so, don’t give up on the solar running a few MacBooks.
noisy about 69 decibells
Thank you. Iam in germany also love this Generator
Can these be left out in the rain? The plug socket does not look like it could handle rain.
Output ?
Doesn’t have 2 sockets?
Y da para taladro también
Noob question, Are these safe to use inside of your van?
Had one for 7 years. Starts on the first pull pretty much every time. Just make sure to service it regularly.
Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzzzz
Haven’t watched vid yet but is this also solar ?
If you are using for just macbooks, lights and phone charging then get a solar back up on amazon. It last longer than this generator and it wont pollute the environment every time you start it. No noise also.
What if it rains?
Is it silent generator?
