Generator for travel trailer
I’m trying to decide on a generator to use with my travel trailer and hoping to make a better decision based on your experience. What suggestions do you have?

Good advice so far. You really do need to know how you are going to use it. I have a Honda 2000i and it is 17 years old. Mine will NOT run the AC. If that is an important thing for you, you will need something larger or buy two and link them together. Our set up works fine for us.
My only other suggestion is to buy a quality generator like a Yamaha or Honda or some equivalent. I have a cousin who had a small Honda 1000 for many years. With a new camper with a microwave he finally parted with it. "Found" a good deal on a generator advertised to be just as good as a Honda 2000 at HALF the price! He bought it and used it for not quite two years before it gave it up. Now he has a new Honda and, considering purchasing the first one, ended up paying about 1.7 times as much as he planned.
