Portable Quiet Generators - Yep again

I realize Hondas are the best and the quietest. However, for the VERY FEW times we are off grid and need to use a generator, we don't want to spend the money on a Honda or Yamaha. If those who don't have a Honda or Yamaha could pipe in and add their 3 cents, please let me know what you would buy that would have a 2000 inverter. We would be buying two with parallel ports to run a 15,000 AC.

Briggs and Stratton
Champion
Generac
Other

We would most likely be taking only one unless it was summer and hot. The Rv has fantastic fans and we are very careful with using the battery. Our previous fifth wheel had an onboard genny which we maybe used 8 or 10 times in six years.

Thanks for your advice.

    I'm also looking to buy a 2000W genny and I'm leaning toward the Champion.
  • If you don't want a honda or yamaha, then I'd say the Champion is your next best choice. Can easily be paired to provide more watts.
  • We bought a Yamaha to replace a cheepo that was stolen. We go off grid as well as provincial campgrounds, so glad we got the quietest thing going. A loud generator annoys us just as much as anyone within earshot.
