Generator selection

Since you can purchase wholesale Yamaha, I would recommend the Yamaha 3000 sIEB. It has electric start.

The go Yamaha. Reputation among rv'ers is stellar; not seen too much about the Generacs.

It will almost definitely be a Generac or Yamaha as I can get wholesale pricing on those two brands. The Trailer already has 4 6 volt batteries in a tool box with a marine charger/tender wired in. So i guess I really don't even need an inverter. It seems to have no trouble keeping us powered on a 3 day weekend, it would just be nice to have the insurance and possibly run the AC.

On the other hand, if all you want is to keep the batteries up, consider installing 400 to 600 watts of solar. That, along with a suitable inverter would power everything except for the roof air, and it is a one time cost that pays for itself in extended battery bank life.

Look at Champion inverter generator series. They have a 3100 watt product that is electric start and big enough to run the roof air. The only down side is that it is heavier than the 2000 watt units from Honda and Yamaha.

Go Yamaha. The quality is superior. You will have the generator long after the money you save buying cheap.
