I have the Champion 2000W inverter generator, it is the 73536i model and I'm very happy with it. I'm sure it's not quite as good as a Honda, but for half the price it sure does the job for me! It is very quiet and looks to me to be very well made. If your main purpose for the genny is to charge the batteries, you can't go wrong with one of the 2kw inverter models.
I have 2 Trojan T105s and I can get by for 3-4 days without any charging, but that's based on not much (or any) furnace use. When we stay longer (or use the furnace a bunch), then I use the Champion to recharge as necessary. I also bought a separate 60A charger that I connect directly to the batteries since my built in WFCO would take all day just to get back to 80%.
But just not any old 60 amper! :)
