Last year I modified the receiver hitch on my Reflection 29rs. I then built a custom generator rack for my Yamaha 4500W. It worked well. My only complaint was the generator caused vibration in the main beams which could be felt throughout the living area. When I got this new Reflection 220rk I was able to move the generator rack over to it; however due to the smaller I beams I was a little afraid of putting that heavy Yamaha on the rear (even though the stock hitch has a capacity of 300 lbs). So I purchased the Honda EU3000is and installed the Pinellas remote start/auto choke kit. I put a thick rubber mat under the generator and using chain and eyebolts I tied it to the generator rack. Then for security purposes I have two steel cables- on through the handle and one through the base of the Honda. I have the power cord run under the RV and secured in place. I have a 90 degree adapter on the side of the RV and the cord is connected to it.
Now I have power whenever I need it, while driving, while pulled over at a rest stop or camping. This generator has less vibration and is quieter than the Yamaha 4500W. I also installed the MicroAir Easy Start to ensure that the genny would start the 15k a/c in all conditions
