Can I start with a Honda or Yamaha 1000 now thru the fall and spring and find that I don't go out away from shore power a lot and rough it very often in the heat of summer. Use the small high end one to charge my battery, run my lights, run my heater fan, and not my ac and microwave? And then if I find that im liking this and going out often in the summer then parallel a 2000 Honda or Yamaha to it's 1000 that I already would own?
The price difference between the 1000 and 2000 Watt units is only $200.
How much sense does it make to spend $800 now, and another $1000 later, for a total of $1800, when you can spend $1000 now and be set for a good long time?
You can parallel a 1000 and a 2000 together, but it is not recommended or supported by any of the generator manufacturers.
Camping generators are something you want to "cheap out" on.
