59 dB(A): how loud is it?

The manufacturer rates the RVMP Flex Power 3300i at 59 dB(A), usually measured at 23 feet (7 m) and a light load. That is about the level of a conversation or a dishwasher: acceptable at a campground.

4

Can you connect it to your house?

Its panel offers 2 × 120 V household outlets (5-20R), TT-30R 30 A RV outlet, USB ports, 12 V DC outlet. It has no 240 V outlet: it runs plug-in appliances through extension cords, not hardwired circuits or a 240 V well pump. The TT-30R outlet plugs straight into a 30 A RV. It is parallel capable: linked to a second compatible unit with a parallel kit, the two outputs combine.

5

Start type, CO shutoff and warranty

It starts with a recoil (pull) cord. A CO shutoff sensor stops the engine if carbon monoxide builds up around it; it does not replace distance (20 feet from the house) and CO alarms indoors. The warranty runs 3 years (residential use).

6

Typical price $500–$800: good value per watt?

Relative to its running watts, the RVMP Flex Power 3300i scores 5.7/10 on value: a high price per watt, which its other strengths may justify. Inverters always cost more per watt than open frames: compare it with other inverters. Generator prices on Amazon move a lot, especially before hurricane season: check the current price before you buy.
