New Trailer Generator Provides Power On The Go

Effectively utilizing space is an important factor aboard race car trailers, RVs and toy haulers that do not have areas specifically dedicated for generators. Instead of taking up precious living or storage room, the innovative 5.5 kW Trailer Generator from Next Generation Power is designed to use the empty space on the tongue.

According to Next Generation Power...

Perfect for running power tools or air conditioning, the convenient 5.5 kW Trailer Generator employs a heavy-duty, 2-cylinder Z482 Kubota. At 2,800 rpm, this powerful diesel engine produces 12 hp. With a water-cooled radiator, it comes with a remote start/stop panel, safety shutdown and 50 amp breaker.

The included v-nose enclosure ensures proper ventilation and makes installation simple. Providing quiet operation, the enclosure is insulated with sound-dampening foam and the gen-set features isolation mounts

An optional 8 gallon tank can be mounted inside the enclosure for simple set up. Incredibly compact, the unit measures just 48" W x 30" H x 26" D and has a dry weight of only 330 lbs. The fuel efficient generator consumes merely 1/4 gph.

Yamaha's EF4500iSE generator designed for less noise and better fuel economy

Having a generator to power lights and other luxuries brings comfort to an RV trip, but keeping the noise and rumble of a generator to minimum is a challenge.

Yamaha's EF4500iSE is designed for less noise and better fuel economy. It has the most powerful engine in its class, allowing for very low engine speed of 2,600 rpm – that’s 1,000 rpm lower than comparable generators – which reduces fuel consumption, noise, vibration and engine wear.

According to Yamaha...

“The EF4500iSE engine is quiet and fuel-efficient,” said Colin Iwasa, power equipment sales manager at Yamaha. “The 357cc Yamaha 4-stroke OHV engine was certified to the most stringent California Air Resources Board Tier III exhaust emission regulations and durability levels.”

Thanks to Yamaha’s Pulse Width Modulation inverter system, the power generated by the EF4500iSE is suitable to run satellite TV systems, computer and other sophisticated electronic appliances.

“The EF4500iSE provides RVers with the comforts and pleasures of electricity in a quiet easy-to-use package,” said Iwasa. “Electric start and automatic choke makes starting easier than falling out of bed, and if you don’t want to get out of bed use the optional wireless remote to start and stop the generator from up to 66 feet away.”
