Honda 3000 or New Briggs & Stratton 3000
New to camping and have a couple of questions: Honda 3000's are very expensive as we all know. I have a 30' camper with A/C (my son needs the AC does not respond well to heat and Wife n I like it ...

Briggs, Champion, Generac, Honda, or Yamaha inverters are all great generators. Most people have only owned one and people will always have a bias that the one they picked is the best. If it wasn't, that would mean they made a mistake and people don't like that. It is why there are so many brand debates. I've have a Champion 5500 non-inverter, have the Honda EU7000is, a Generac whole home generator and ride a Yamaha YZ-250 :). I like them all.
The Champion set outside in all weather conditions for two years during construction of a house. Never, ever, was there a problem starting it. That tells me Champion is not junk.
Likewise the Honda is amazingly quiet and powerful. It's also amazingly heavy, but when boon-docking at NASCAR races in the summer, it is sure nice to have both A/C units running at full tilt while making coffee. There aren't as many choices in this size generator, so Honda it is.
Based on my observations, with Champion, I'll probably save the money and get a 3?00 watt inverter if I decide to get something smaller.
BTW, the Generac works perfectly and nothing is more fun than a two-stroke MX bike when it comes to off road motorcycles (IMO). :)
Buy what you can afford, just don't be noisy in the campground!
