Generator Debate

Honda, Yamaha, Hyundai????

Just switched over from a toy hauler to camping trailer, now I need to consider generators. Looks like the setup for me will be jumping 2 2000 generators together.
So here's the debate...

I know Honda is the gold standard, but Yamaha is a little cheaper and seems to be increasing in popularity. Hyundai's are WAY cheaper, but Ive never heard of anyone owning one.

My priority list is as follows in order: Quiet, reliable, efficient.

Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken :h

    I've had both Honda and Yamaha generators. In my opinion the Yamaha was actually the better of the two but my current generator is a Honda and I cannot complain. If I were looking for a new one I would look seriously at the Yamaha.

    No Around here it's Honda, Yamaha, Champion.

    Champion has quite the following and their 2000w cube can run in parallel with another and pretty popular.

    I think I would list it as quiet, light, reliable and then efficient.

    Honda fits the bill for me, a pair of 47 pound 2 KW generators will pair up and work fine.

    You need a better deal on the price though. Mayberrys.com
