Sorry, I guess a little explanation is in order. I understand that its an open frame generator and louder than the EU3000 (65 decibels it says)but I neglected to say its not going to be used in a campground or on my RV, its going on the back of a semi truck that has a 13500 btu a/c on its roof and I'll only be running it at night at the truck stop (which is loud already) so I dont have to idle the truck all night. Thanks to all who responded, I guess it should work just fine. Prior to getting this one I had the Predator 3500 inverter generator and it worked great for a couple months then started shutting off due to "over voltage" so I returned it, got a new one and that one wouldnt even start!!! so thats when I decided to look at the Hondas and the eb3000c has dimentions that will fit perfectly where I need it to go but that does me no good if it cant run the a/c lol
