Quiet Generator fot 23ft TT

At $1000 I just can't seem to justify buying for the sake of going off grid occassionally. I'll just stick to going during the cooler months when A/C isn't crucial and running everything else off batteries ( we never use the microwave anyway).

If I had bought a piece of undeveloped property for the TT as I wanted to, I definitely would have invested in a good generator.

I selected the Honda EU2000i for 2 primary reasons:
1) A gift card promo and signing up for their cc brought the effective price down to $800
2) I can get parts and service locally (and easily)

#2 is what knocked Yamaha out of the running. And it is also the primary reason I won't buy $600 "similar" 2000W generator.

We run two Honda 2000I's one of which is the companion model which has the 30 amp female outlet. Have been very happy with the Hondas they are easy to move around don’t weight much are very reliable and very quiet also can be serviced by a local Honda dealer if need be. Most of the time we run one to charge trailer batteries but together they handle the AC well and only run about half speed with the ac load , I would recommend the Honda or Yamaha . We also use an extended run fuel tank when running both together and they will run all day and night if needed ( ran all night at home during a power outage not in a campground).

Honda Champion and Yamaha all make quality 2000 watt generators that can be paired if you need more power. About $900 per unit for the Honda and Yamaha and about $550 for the Champion.

This looks like a nice unit..... the remote must be an outstanding feature and it should have enough juice to run an A/C. I'd have to check but I think the noise is slightly higher than the Honda 2000 (as expected for a 3000W) and it's definitely heavier at 110 lbs (wheels though are nice).

I love my Honda 2000 but at $1000 it is pricey. I just saw a Yamaha at Costco that looked very similar in size and watts to my Honda for $599. It caught my eye but I didn't want to look too closely since I just bought my Honda last year :)

My requirement was to be able to run the AC and have clean power for the electronics, I went with the Yamaha 3000i.

It's not light weight and takes both of us to load.

I have seen posts on other forums that folks have used the Honda kit to run 2 no name gens together.

It becomes a matter of how much power do you require and how much you want to spend to get there.

I also plan on mounting it on the rear bumper of the TT and didn't want a big name generator attracting anymore attention than it already will out in the open.

IF you are just running a microwave or other small loads, such as the power converter, then a Honda 2000 watt generator can run those loads, and is only 47 pounds.

Many people who want to run a A/C also use a pair of Honda 2,000 watt generators with a kit to wire them together and they will share the loads.
