- In this episode, Chris confesses and admits he is an idiot. After months of owning the new (after Harbor Freight's re-release) Predator 5000 Inverter Generator and dealing with a generator that randomly shuts down for (at the time) no apparent reason, Chris finally discovers what as been going on and finds the "FIX".

FYI this model's CO² sensor is super sensitive and a breeze can blow the exhaust into the sensor and it'll shut off.
Good to kno! I haven’t run into that issue yet.
It takes a big man to admit a mistake! Nicely done. Nobody does this. Nice genny and great gas economy.
Lmao, now a days it sure does lol I like laughing at myself. Life is too short.
Here I thought it was going to be the co sensor 😂
Lmao nope, just my dumb ass lol
Got my 5000 on the last sale. Twice it shut off on me randomly two days ago.
Needless to say I don't keep the remote start hooked to my belt loop anymore.
Lmao!!!!!! It’s good to know I’m not the only one lmao
Man you are awesome for admitting the truth! I bought one today!
@@williamzagorski141 lmao I think everyone should be able to laugh at themselves! Once I figured it out, I was dying laughing.
I’m such an idiot lmao
I just got the Michigan pull up the RV with the 5000 and it shut off on me twice I watched your RUclips video and my my key with another set of keys and change😅
@@adammiller5640 BROTHER!!!! lmao im telling ya!!! It drove me crazy!!!!!! I was dying when I realized what it was. lol Thanks for the laugh and knowing im not the only one lmao.
Just bought 5000 for RV with running air only it shut off three times with in 20 min any idea
Have you made sure the remote is not in your pocket? Lol put the remote in a safe place, it’s very touchy. If it shuts down for no apparent reason, return it as defective. It may be an old version that should have been replaced
i want to get the 5000, but for now i use a 3500 full time and i get about 4 and a half days with 2, 5 gallon cans of gas. kinda sounds like the 5000 will get similar amount of days as the 3500, but im pushing about 350 watts constant all day with the computer. and when the fridge kicks on it goes full throttle. and same when charging my batteries after running a fan all night.
Yea obviously it all depends on your energy usage. I would assume the 5000 will get you better efficiency just because it’s operating closure to that 25% threshold where they say is the best efficiency. I really like both. But, I think the 5000 is taking the number 1 spot for me with the increase fuel capacity, remote stop / start, and 30 amp plug (no adapter needed).
However, if you’re only using 350 watts constant, the 3500 would be the better option. For us living in south Florida, the A/C stays on the majority of year which keeps us around 1,000 watts give or take.
@@BeastFamilyADV i might upgrade in the future, but yea, up here in the north, it is not AC season yet. still too cold. under 48F at night and a max of around 60-68 during the day, and most of the time im parked under a tree, so constant shade.
So is it worth it? I want to pick up the 5000
Yaaaassss!!!!!! Love it! I’ve been considering selling the 3,500. The 5,000 is better in every way. Just remember that the remote in your pocket can cause you to go crazy lmao
@@BeastFamilyADV good deal. As soon as they are back in stock in my town I’m gonna get it.
