Picked up another Honda gennie....
Just days before we picked up our 23' Skamper TT, I found a Honda EU2000i generator for cheap on Craigslist.
After hours on here and Google, I figured out that I could not likely power the 13,500 BTU AC unit.
During one of my Amazon shopping sprees, I picked up a hard start capacitor. I have yet to install it.... when all of a sudden, today, I find a steal on an EU3000is Honda gennie.
So - after several emails, I now have another one in the garage.
I expect the 2000 to fail on AC start-up, even with the HS cap.
If so, I'll have it back on Craigslist and use the (much heavier) 3000.
Dear wifey might have to eat some Wheaties, but it's still much smaller and lighter than the Generac 5500 we have for a house backup.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll find the EU2000 Companion gennie on CL tomorrow. haha
Just as she gets home from work today, I say, "I spent some money today."
And she replies: "Of course you did."
And as I point to the dusty Honda in the corner she says, "We are officially generator poor."
