Honda Generator
What Honda generator is the best one to get for my travel trailer? I would really only be using it to charge my batteries every other day.

This is directly from honda and the owners manuals.And according to users who have done it, you can mix different size Hondas. Here's one video example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSlI-HpQGPI, and several forums users have claimed to routinely parallel different size Hondas.
It will "work" but you will not get the full potential out. You can only pull as much power as 2x the lowest rated generator. If you pair anything with a EU1000 all you can use is 2000w. If you pull more than 2000w you will put the smaller generator into overload, as they don't have the ability to limit power. So a 3000w a 1000w has just become a 2000w generator, less than a since 3000w alone.. Pointless.
So,yes it will work...but it's not a good or practical practice.
Honda will still tell you not to mix-match.
