Here's my two cents....
Many years ago our Onan up and decided it was tired of putting out electricity. The engine would run but the genny part didn't generate.
So I found a good deal on two Honda 2000i generators with the parallel kit.

>A friend was building a cabin in a remote area, we used one of the Hondas to power the tools and compressor
There have been a few other times I have found having a portable generator (or two) a very flexible solution to replacing our dead Onan.
