FAQ
Portable generators are standalone units that run on gas, propane, diesel, or solar power. When used as RV and motorhome generators, the unit is typically towed behind the vehicle or stowed inside for outdoor use. Built-in RV generators are fixed mounted off-grid power solutions that integrate with your electrical system to power high-wattage appliances. Fossil fuel generators must be fitted with an exhaust or operated outdoors.
Traditional RV generators run on gas, propane, or diesel and must be operated outdoors or fitted with an exhaust due to toxic emissions. In addition to producing carbon monoxide, gas generators are extremely noisy, and campsites often restrict operating times. EcoFlow’s EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System provides LFP battery storage up to 45kWh and 5kVA/48V output with whisper-quiet operation and no poisonous fumes. Recharge with solar, shore, and 48V alternator power + gas/propane.
Unlike traditional gas, diesel, propane, and inverter RV generators, EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System provides off-grid power without burning fossil fuel. EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System is the ultimate solar generator for RVs with 3200W maximum charging power from mounted or portable solar panels.
To determine what size RV generator is right for you, add up the starting and running watts of the appliances and HVAC systems you want to operate simultaneously. The power output of the electric generator for your RV should exceed the total by at least 10%. Next, estimate how long you need to operate between refueling or recharging. Ensure you have sufficient fuel and/or battery storage to meet your needs.
Your RV or camper generator’s power output must exceed the starting and running electricity requirements of your rooftop, portable, wall-mounted, under-bench, or low-profile RV air conditioner or heating & cooling unit. Ensure that the power output is sufficient to operate all the other appliances you need in addition to your RV AC.
EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System provides 5kVa/48V of continuous power — more than enough to run your RV AC and high-wattage appliances like stoves and induction cooktops, coffee makers, refrigerators, space heaters, and more — all at once. No more need to worry about tripping breakers or not having enough power.
EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System offers the ultimate in RV generator and off-grid power flexibility with household AC, shore power, solar panels, gas, propane, 48V/100A alternator, and integrated DC charging capabilities. Charge a 5kWh battery in just over an hour when driving with the alternator adapter or 1.5 hours with shore power/AC.
Charge a 5kWh battery in just over an hour on the road with the 48V/100A alternator adapter or 1.5 hours with shore power/AC. Connect up to 8 x 400W solar panels for 3200W of solar input to quickly recharge in daylight. EcoFlow Smart Generator 4000 integrates seamlessly with EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System for up to 4000W of gas and propane charging.
Traditional gas-powered RV generators can run until you run out of fuel — if operating hours aren’t restricted. Many campgrounds limit or forbid gas generator use. EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System provides up to 48kWh of LFP battery storage for 7 days off-grid power. Top up power on the road with a 48V/100A smart alternator and/or solar panel charging to stay off-grid indefinitely.
Traditional RV generators use internal combustion engines to burn gas, propane, or diesel to produce mechanical energy and an alternator to convert it into AC electricity. All combustion engines produce loud noise of up to 100dB and toxic emissions. Inverter generators also burn fossil fuels but are quieter—around 70dB—but still unsafe for indoor use. Solar generators for RV are whisper quiet (30-44dB) and produce no fumes.
Technically, you can run an RV generator all day or night as long as you don’t run out of fuel. However, gas-powered RV generators are extremely noisy (up to 100dB) and even quieter inverter generators are often subject to time-of-use restrictions. Solar generators for RV are whisper quiet (30-44dB) and produce no fumes, making the safe for indoor use.
The EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System RV generator is powerful enough to run a Class-A motorhome yet silent enough to run your AC and high-wattage RV appliances while you sleep. At 48dB, EcoFlow Power Kit 5kVA 48V Power System is as quiet as a suburban night, allowing you to enjoy off-grid electricity anytime, day or night, without time-of-use restrictions.
