The Honda 3000 inverter with battery and or pull start and remote capable.
Mine does to but not so much running a 13.5 AC...
Interesting why they would have such big fuel consumption difference.
When I just calculated 14 hr of running when powering 13.5k AC, I run the generator whole day with 15k AC on my previous motorhome and it run honest 12HR at full blast.
I recheck the tank size. It is listed on newer model at 3.4gallons, when mine is 15 yo. Don't know if they were build differently over the years, or actuall fill is not what empty tank says, but I remember that 5 gallons can gives me close to 2 fillups.
I still have the battery that come with generator dry and acid to fill it. Since Honda starts on 1st, max 2nd pull even after sitting for 10 months, I never feel a need for electric starter.
Starter works as I tested it couple years ago with the cigarette pack-sized battery module of new generation.
