With this brilliant new generator from Yamaha your ability to move beyond the bounds of caravan parks and experience the joys of the Australian bush is very easy.
The team at OTR has been lucky enough to have had the new Yamaha 2.4kVA petrol powered inverter generator for a number of weeks now and have taken the unit away on a short Winter High Country trip which gave us the perfect opportunity to put the new Yamaha unit through its paces.
Let’s start with a quick run through on the new generator. The Yamaha EF2400iS to give it its full title is the perfect unit for caravan owners and can run your aircon with ease. The new generator at 2.4kW has that little extra grunt, but still runs as quiet as ever. Using Inverter technology, the EF2400iS is Yamaha’s best seller for caravans, RV’s and motorhomes. Light and super quiet, it produces a massive 2400 watts of maximum power so you can run anything from a small air conditioner, refrigerator, kettle, toaster or small heater – not to forget your sensitive electronic equipment such as phones, laptops and computers.
This unit is the lightest in its class and has two handles for easy lifting so you don’t have to break your back! Not only that, it’s also currently the most compact unit in its class on the market so it will fit in most caravan storage boxes.
On our Winter High Country sojourn the Yamaha generator performed with great distinction starting first pull on every occasion it was fired up and running very quietly in the cold mountain air, a key feature for which the Yamaha’s are renowned.
As stated above the unit’s weight and compact design make for easy handling by one person and a total breeze if there are two of you. We have the Yamaha unit for a while yet and plan further trips away this Spring so will be able to report back further on its ongoing performance under different conditions and loads.
A few of the great extras that Yamaha have are a dust cover and transportation kit as optional extras, as well as TwinTech Parallel Use function – for almost double the power when connecting two EF2400iS together.
