I have four generators, a 5000 watt Generac home backup system, a 4000 watt Onan on my motorhome and a Kawasaki 1400 watt I use with my travel trailer. I also have an old 1985 or 86 model 600 watt Nissan, my favorite. This little tiny 600 watt generator is an awesome little generator. I learned that it is actually a Honda generator made for Nissan. I use it with my motorhome when we are boondocking and just need to charge the batteries or play the TV etc. It only holds about a pint of fuel and will run about 5 hours before it needs refueling. It is very quiet, light weight, sips fuel and easy to start.mtnman

My favorite was my first... A Honda Eu1000i. Like the OP's, it is a fuel sipper. Getting older, the weight of the Eu2000i is manageable, but the size of the 1000, if it meets your power needs, is just about perfect.

Will that 600 run a 25 amp converter ?I had a 600 Honda years ago, and it amazed me what it wouldn't power.I love my 1,000, for its size and weight. It powers my 45 amp converter ONLY, no other AC at all.

Will that 600 run a 25 amp converterYes, It charges the batteries better and quicker using the 12 volt option straight to the batteries. NCcamper

My Honda EU2000i will sometime bog down just on my on-board charger if it is kind of cold and in the econo mode. The charger pulls 1000 watts for about 15 minuted when the batteries are below about 75%.

Let your motor warm up out of eco mode, and in a couple of minutes, when the air coming off the motor is hot, plug in. You won't get that bogging if you use this procedure. Once plugged in, then you can turn it back to eco mode.

I know. That was the point I was making.
