Generators
Thinking of buying a generator for the few times we dry camp and it would come in handy for power failures. Seems the Honda 3000 I is the one of choice. What do you think.

How come guys with loud gens never think there loud? Just because people don't complain don't mean your not peeing off everybody next to you...
How come guys weigh in on others post with out all the details and don’t even add any constructive info to the OP?
I carry a Honda eu2000 for charging batteries when I'm in confined space. We race drag bikes and spend a lot of our summers camped in race tracks where nitro bikes are running all weekend, most have low cost gen sets or every color including black, yellow, red, blue, green, and grizzly, I have camped next to all of them and some really suck to be next to all weekend. The one I recommended is the quietest one there of its size except for the EU6500 model my buddy has that pits next to me. I actually have done side by side comparisons under identical loads comparing my gen set with his so my advice comes from experience. By the way, I am a contractor and currently own about 50 gen sets some that are over 35 years old with cast iron Kohler power some that are built on trailers with Cummins power. I have also been camping since 1973 with a 1973 25' Winnebago Chieftain that I still own, my lance truck camper and the toy hauler. I do believe that I have a valid piece of ground to stand on when I make a generator recommendation. Read the specs, buy the best you can and go camping. If some one gets pissed at your gen set, see if they will let you plug into theirs.
