Hey I ran across this bit of info this morning and thought I would share. Champion 2000 W and 3100 W inverter Generators at Cabela's are on sale the 2000 is 489.00 and the 3100 is 749.00 (not the one with remote start). As usual my timing is off. We just book the family for an Alaskan Cruise. And I do not work for Cabela's just spreading the news of a good sale.Link to genny page:Come get it

As a note, they are not in stock, but are ordered in, so it takes a few days. There is not a shipping charge. If ordered online, just have it shipped to your closest store.

I bought a Champion 2000w Inverter from Blaine Farm Supply. Shipped Free and no taxes if you don't live in Illinois. It was not a refurbished unit. Sorry I don't know how to setup a direct link. Currently, $569.99, not sure about shipping. Worth waiting for the next sale.

I suspect you can't run AC with a 2000W generator. Probably need 3000W?

In short, a conventional generator generates plain AC power. These generators run at full throttle constantly, are noisier, but cheaper. Inverter generators take the AC generated power, convert it to DC, then back to AC. These generators can be throttled down with light loads, are quieter, create a cleaner source of power for electronics, but are a little more pricey.

If you do a lot of camping away from others then a conventional generator will work just fine. If you camp around others then the inverter generators are a better choice since they're much quieter.

What does inverter mean? I am starting to look for a Generator for my Travel Trailer and am not sure what I should be looking for.
