Generator questions!
We are looking at buying either a 3000W Honda inverter generator, or the 3000W Predator brand inverter from Harbor Freight. Will be using these to intermittently charge 2X 6V Trojan golf cart battery...

My last 2 generators were a Honda (open frame) and a Champion (honda clone engine open frame) the Honda lasted 15 years before totally giving up. The Champion is still running and 11 years old but getting rough. I will agree with oldman in that the honda was better built, but it did not last twice as long, but did cost 3 times as much.
The Honda will likely be a better unit. Will it be enough better to justify the price increase is questionable.
FWIW my next genny will be the remote start Champ.
I have no overt desire to go outside in the morning to fire it up to make coffe when its raining.
Honda $2000
Champ remote start $900
Pred $650
edit add on HF offers a 1 year warranty for a low price, Over the counter exchange, not a repair.
