On the flip side .... ;)
I've owned an EU2000i previously and now have another one ... before each purchase I too carefully examined whether I could get away with a lighter weight, somewhat less costly EU1000i and both times concluded the 2K made more sense. The 1K would likely have handled my battery recharging tasks but it won't run my wife's hairdryer, which I've been told is of "vital" importance. :R Aside from a 1K not being able to run the trailer's microwave oven it's also marginal for other appliances that we like to use even while dry camping - toaster, Tassimo coffee machine, etc. The 2K will handle all of these with no effort at all - I just plug the trailer into my EU2000i and while it's running the trailer behaves no differently than if it were plugged into shore power. Although I'm now quite a bit older than I used to be I'm not dead yet (at least I wasn't the last time I checked ;) ) so I'll happily lift a 50 lb EU2000i instead of a 30 lb EU1000i for the clear advantages it offers. To each his / her own. :B
