I believe the low-noise reputation that Hondas have comes from running them at very low power levels, so noise output is less than 59 dB at lot of the time they're being used.

I've heard 2000i Hondas at full power and they do seem to make a lot of "racket" running at full power (over 4000 RPM).

Maybe you heard one that had problems, we have a EU6500IS for our BBQ vending trailer and I am constantly getting customers, mostly guys, amazed by how quiet it is.

I would love to go without generator, however my wife is an asthmatic and is controlled with cool air. Yes, we do some winter camping, however in the summer months we do need more than my 12 volt will handle, this is why I am asking. thanks for your thoughts

You may find that you can enjoy some dry camping without a generator at all. Understanding the 12-volt system helped me conserve and dry camp for up to 6 days without a battery recharge.

Your not going to get 50 amps from a Honda 2000. Most TT use 30 amps, Two Honda 2000 with a kit to connect them will put out enough power to run A/C and microwave.

We use a small non-inverter Honda some when camping, but it's an obsolete Honda model that is only 54 dB loud at it's full power (fixed 3600 RPM).

The only reason to go to 50 amps is to run large draw appliances like an air conditioner and washer or dryer at the same time.

Your 30 amp service should be able to handle an air conditioner and most small appliances as you need them.

I use two Honda 2000i with a parallel kit (30 amps) when I need to use the air conditioner (15000 BTU). If no air conditioner is needed we can get by with just one of the Honda 2000i.
