Comparing *Small* Inverter Generators
I'm tired of always lugging around my (heavy to put in the storage or the new trailer and a bit loud) existing generator, when most of the time I have 3 or 4 times the power I need. I'm looking at ...

We have been dry camping for a couple of weeks at a time for years using a single EU 1000 to recharge our battery. I carry two of them but one always sits in the TV unused as a spare.
Dick, I believe that you can get a paralleling kit for Honda 1000i generators.
If so, two of the 1000i generators in parallel produce 1800 watts continuous (900 watts each), while a single Honda 2000i only produces 1600 watts continuous.
IMHO, two 1000i's are superior to one 2000i - if you can afford them:
1) Two 1000i's are easier to lift one at a time than lifting a 2000i once.
2) Two 1000i's in parallel produce more power than one stand-alone 2000i.
3) Two 1000i's backup each other for at least producing 900 watts of 110V AC power for your camping if one fails, while a failed 2000i produces no 110V AC power for your camping if it fails.
