Thinking about upgrading your RV’s power system? Whether you're chasing sunsets on the open road or setting up camp far off the grid, how you power your lifestyle matters. For years, gas generators have been the default. But now there’s a better way. Let’s break down the real-world difference between a traditional 5500W gas generator and the revolutionary Expion360 EX2 Gen-Delete System.

1. Power Output & Performance

When it comes to raw power, both systems get the job done—but how they do it makes all the difference.

🔌 Standard Generator (Onan 5500W)

• 5,500 watts continuous output
  

• Runs as long as you have gas or propane
  

• Loud operation, even under light load
  

• Requires regular oil changes, spark plug checks, and maintenance
  

• High output, but at a high cost—financially and environmentally
  
  

☀️ Expion360 EX2 Gen-Delete System

• Up to 7,000W peak output with inverter
  

• Scalable power:
  

• 4× EX2 = ~10.8kWh
  

• 8× EX2 = ~21.6kWh
  

• Zero noise operation
  

• Charges from solar and shore power
  

• Easily powers air conditioning, fridge, lights, and daily essentials
  

• Zero Decibels Per Amp Hour—power you can’t hear, but will feel
  
  
  

2. Long-Term Cost Breakdown

Upfront costs tell only half the story. Let’s look at the true cost of ownership.

🔧 Gas Generator System (5–7 Years)

• $9,100–$11,400 upfront (generator, install, transfer switch)
  

• $3,000–$7,000 in fuel (based on usage)
  

• $800–$2,000 maintenance (oil changes, filters, wear & tear)
  

• Total Estimated Cost: $12,900–$20,400
  
  

🔋 Gen-Delete System (4–8 EX2 Batteries)

• $12,400–$16,400 (for 4-battery setup)
  

• $20,000–$24,100 (8-battery, full-time off-grid setup)
  

• Zero fuel costs
  

• Minimal maintenance
  

• Total Cost: Comparable price, long-term savings
  
  

3. Lifestyle Fit & Use Case

How does your power solution fit into your RV life? This is where the Gen-Delete System truly shines.

❌ Traditional Generator

• Noisy operation disrupts peace & quiet
  

• Constantly needs fuel refills
  

• Regular maintenance headaches
  

• Limited usefulness for extended off-grid camping
  
  

✅ Expion360 Gen-Delete

• Silent power you’ll barely notice
  

• Charges from solar or shore power
  

• Low-maintenance design
