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?

I own several gens for differnet reasons. My "new" RV I've had for the past year has a built in ONAN which is great. But for literally 20 years before that I used portable gens. I had a pair of EU2000 since 2006 with no regrets. If I could go back in time and do it over again, I would get another pair of EU2000 if I had to dig through the couch coushions for change.
For a pair of stock EU2000 in parallel running a 1980's era class C including roof air in ~100f ambient, in my experience you are looking at ~8 hours before refueling the gens. If this is the way you are running, in my opinion its worth researching bulk tanks and modified fuel caps.
With my last RV, my older daughter was in 4H and Pony Club for horses for many years. We would pull into a fair or event and crank up the gens, and they would run parallel non-stop 24 hours a day for a week running the AC. Many times over. Zero issues. 4-digit hours on each of them.
I own two Champoins, a 1200 and a 3000. The 3000 is for home/well pump backup because the Honda won't do 240V. I love my Champions and have had no issue with them, but I have not used them anywhere close to as hard as I've worked these Hondas.
