Great question! The Cummins Onan QG 4000i RV Generator w/ Inverter 4,000 Watts # CM42ZR delivers the same raw power 4,000W as the Cummins Onan Quiet Series RV Generator 4,000 Watts # CM32ZR but with cleaner, pure sine wave inverter output.
That means it’s perfect for sensitive devices like laptops, Wi-Fi boosters, smart TVs, and CPAP machines. If you're working from the road or running a Victron charging system or lithium batteries, this generator ensures your tech runs without glitches or overheating.
What type of electronics do you plan to run? Do you already have an inverter?
