x2. It's bad manners.
Common folks, between the local hot rodders and the trailer trucks in wally world parking lots it is not like you can hear a mouse pass gas. Two nights ago I wound up with a reefer on both sides of me, in addition to the local hot rodders and one guy that was playing that noise that makes the real loud booming sound. The guy one spot over ran his genny in the Mo Ho all night. But his genny could not hold a candle to the rest of the stuff. :h I just do not see how say a 2000 running on eco mode could hold a candle to the goings on in Wally's parking lot.
Thanks for the advice all, you helped me make a final decision.
Dave, the only part of your post that I will comment on is: "I just do not see how say a 2000 running on eco mode could hold a candle to the goings on in Wally's parking lot". While true, the EU2000 (I have one) is very quiet in eco mode, it will not run the AC in eco mode. Rather, it will run a 13.5 AC at wide open throttle where the genny gets much louder. I've also done this as a test on my old trailer with a 13.5 AC. I don't recommend it.
If you're not concerned about running the AC, I see no problem in running a EU2000 in a Wal Mart or similar parking lot, though that's not my cup of tea.
