"Yamaha's a great brand. From what I've read here, the Honda generators handle Surge (like A/C startup) a little better than most other brands."
I must disagree. I still remember the death glare from the wife when my brand new hyper expensive Honda EU3000is wouldn't start my 13,600 btu A/C. A hard start kit in the A/C saved my life. Heard many other similar stories. Yamahas and Champions don't seem to have a problem starting RV A/Cs. So if you're determined to drop a couple of grand on a Honda, rent one and try it first. I still wince when I remember that glare!
