Satellite box comment, was a Secondary observation
The question was why can't I leave both generators hooked up , whilst running only one
And on top of that
He wanted to run the regular Honda 2000i, that did not have the built twist lock plug, to put power into the parallel harness, and plug the trailer into the twist lock on the non running Honda companion generator
From that it devolved into all the posts by users saying they run only one but leave both connected even though Honda says , Not to do that
It's your money and his money, do what you want , with your generators
But rationalizing it is all ok, just to save a few seconds of work connecting them or disconnecting, does not mean that it's 100 percent perfectly ok do this all the time, that is not what Honda says
You may never have a problem , but if you do, you have no recourse with Honda, because you did what you did
