Generator etiquette
If you're in a camp area without electric, but still there are others around, how late is it okay to run your generator into the evening? And are generators in MHs more quiet that setting one up outs...

I think the key is I shut the "ECO Mode" off, so the generator was running at higher revs when I turned on the A/C.
My 2500 automatically comes off of eco mode when AC turns on.
Also installed the soft start unit on the AC... it really works@
The 2500 has enough power that you don't have to worry about it.
The issue with the 2000 is that the short time between turning on the A/C and the generator revving up (basically eco mode automatically shutting off) is long enough to trip the breaker in the camper or on the gen.
A lot of people don't even know what "eco" mode is, or that it can be shut off.
This is the experience I've had with a Honda eu2000 and my camper. We had a nice, cool weekend during a hot and humid heat wave.
