    And you might have to.


    I should also add that it would depend on the usage. If it is going to be for someone who boondocks quite a lot, I would go for the Honda. If it for just in case and not really depending on it, then it is probably fine.

    Parked near a friend using the Predator 3500 inverter generator, they are loud compared to a Honda 2000. It was also loud compared to his Champion 2000 inverter generator that he switched to later.

    I brought a pair from Costco 2 years ago not sure of the brand but they do the job. You'll need to get or make a bonding plug if you have a voltage monitor otherwise your rig won't allow power from the generator.


    This also occurs with the Honda. How do we know? We resolved the issue with the same.
