honda eu 3000is

Thanks guys. I do not know what I will do. I may buy the 3000.

Hi,

I prefer the Yamaha 3000 sIEB because it has 500 watts of boost for 10 seconds which helps when starting the air conditioner.

Generators loose power as altitude goes up. A 2k will start most AC's at sea level, a 3k most anywhere reasonable. 10,000 to 15,000 foot mountain peaks aren't what most consider reasonable as far as AC's. They usually aren't needed and even a 3k with a hard start cap on the ac will struggle.

I'd definitely add a hard start capacitor to the AC to help with the load.

I have one and used it for three weeks at a time dry camping in Key West. No problems running a 15k AC, but not much else. Had to turn off the AC to use the MW.

The nice part of using 2 EU2000i's instead of a EU3000iS is the weight difference. 2 EU2000i's dry weight is 98 pounds whereas the EU3000iS is 134 pounds. I hate to say it but I ain't the man I once was. I can carry the 2000's one in each hand to balance the load with no problem.
