FIRMAN WT05571 Portable Inverter Generator

Hi All -

Does anyone have any experience dry-camping/boondocking with a FIRMAN WT05571 Tri-Fuel Portable Inverter Generator? When I recently superseded my GDRV Imagine 2600RB (30A) with a Reflection 296RDTS (50A), I started looking for a more powerful, potable, LP fueled inverter generator that could sustain the two AC units (15K BTU & 13.5 BTU), along with the my Starlink system in my 296RDTS. Some research revealed a 15K BTU AC running draws 1,700 Watts, a 13.5K BTU AC draws 1,600 Watts and a satellite system 200-250 Watts. I am thinking FIRMAN's WT05571 will suffice. Below are the output specs:

Gas Running/Starting Watts: 5,500/6,85
LP Running/Starting Watts: 5,000/6,250
NG Running/Starting Watts: 4,400/5,500

Your insight is appreciated.

It seems to meet your needs, especially with the 50 Amp plug. I'm not sure I'd call it portable though.

At 131 lbs., the WT05571 is definitely a two person lift. Thanks for your feedback.

You might be better off getting a pair of smaller generators that can be connected together. The pair would be easier to handle and you have a built in backup if one fails.
