Portable Generator Solutions
I have a 19' Rockwood Eco Pro. I'd like to get a generator for camping off the grid. I want to run the A/C so solar is out as a solution. I'm looking at portable generators as a solution but I don't...

If size and cost are your concerns look at the Westinghouse i-gen 2500.
uses a honda clone engine, the same size as the new 2200 watt honda.SoundGuy wrote:
Nice try, but not even close - the Westinghouse eGen2500 has a 98 cc engine, the new Honda EU2200i has a 121 cc engine. Now which do you think will most easily sustain heavy surge loads without falling on it's face? :Wvalhalla360 wrote:
Which puts out more power a vinage 1980's 5.0l V8 or a new 3.5l Ecoboost?
Yes, the later is turbo'd but displacement is not the only criteria.
Unfortunate that Honda engineers don't have your expertise in generator design and decided to fit their new EU2200i with an unnecessarily large engine. :W
Not at all. It just means that displacement is not the sole determiner of power. The honda's put a lot of emphasis on quiet. They may be willing to spec a slightly larger motor and not push it quite as hard so it runs quieter. You'll have to ask them the specific design criteria they were following as I didn't do the design.
