Hi,
I would want a generator to have electric start. So far as I am aware none of the 2k units offer that as an OEM solution.
I solved the weight problem by putting the genny on a rack at the back and having a ramp.
It is cheaper to go to an inexpensive campground than to run a generator 24/7 for air conditioning.
On the whole, I wish I had purchased more solar and not bothered with a generator at all (including running the roof air from solar).
