Anyone have suggestions, or have one for sale?I heard 1000 watts will do one set of tire warmers....True? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 1k will def power Tire warmers. I recommend HOndas. You ll pay a pretty penny, but the 1ks put out more like 1500 and def. are QUIET. I have a 5500 watter to power our travel trailer and everyone elses around us, and trust me 1k will be plenty. We run 1k for our shower, fridge, and fan, but when the AC comes on, we need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 yea the 1000w ones will do a set of warmers. When buying one the bigger one u get the better. We got a 3500 from lowes for $350 and its fairly decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrjess0815 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yea i use a little 1000 watt portable if i'm the only one running warmers. Otherwise i have to borrow a bigger one.. The 1000 will only run one set. Thats absolutely it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 This is what I have powers two sets of warmers and two fans yesterday And the best part its very quiet!Its also $1500-$1800.. damn nice but outta most peoples price range. I used Lizards a few track days ago and she sure is nice and quite and light but pretty expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vw151 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I think there was a deal going around for the homelite 2k generators for under $400. They will power 2 sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Lizards a few track days ago and she sure is nice and quite and light but pretty expensive.You can find them for about 1000-1200 still a little pricey I know, but better than listening to all that noise a 400 dollar geni makes. That alone is worth the extra cost in my book. especially when the home power cuts off.In case anyone is looking here is where I bought mine. Good people and they usually throw one on ebay for a grand delivered! http://wisesales.com/YamahaEF2400iS.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
