Any know the details on this generator?

I can see clearly it is a Yamaha EF3000iSE but when I search the model the generator that comes up has two 15amp and a 30amp connections. I am thinking it is an older model of the same generator but cannot find a manual or anything in it.

Looking to buy it to run my RV.

    Clicky to Above Page

    Link to a Spec Page shows it as single phase 120VAC. Single is good, because you can use its full rated amps capacity as one load, specifically your RV shore tie cable. You'd need a adapter from Twist Lock (generator receptacle) to RV (shore tie plug). Just remember you have 23 Amps Max.

    My guess, you could run a 13500 A/C plus your Converter/Charger, lights, radio, stuff like that. I think you'd have to "load shed" by turning A/C off to run the Microwave. You might be able to run Microwave and Toaster/Coffeemaker at once. Or Toaster + Coffeemaker with Converter/Charger.

    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.
