I have run a Honda 2.0i for 10 years, it has excellent voltage regulation and has never missed a beat. Over that period we have run the AC probably a dozen times and interestingly it will do so at sea level but will not hang onto the load at any altitude over 1,000 ft. One of the larger capacity Honda or Yamaha machines will hang onto an AC load somewhat better. On a recent caravanning trip with friends I saw a brand new Honda 2.0i fail to start after it had been servicing a light load for 2 or 3 days (that is all the work it had done). I did the usual things - changed fuel and checked the plug to no avail. The problem turned out to be a failed " ignition initiator", in other words an ignition coil timed by the flywheel. After this 10 year experience I have come to the conclusion that our main generator need is as backup for the batteries and I am now carrying a Yamaha 1.0i which easily runs my charger at 40A for 30 mins if it has to, but more importantly gives me a weight saving of 18kg.

We have a new Honda E22i in our new AT5. Runs the Aircon with ease. Can’t beat a Honda.?✅

My caravan spares have the same stud pattern as my Landcruiser and the tyres are the same size. However I was advised that I would need to fit spacers onto the Landcruiser hub before being able to use the them as spares in an emergency? Is anyone aware of this and is it factual? If so, what size spacer should be used?
