I'm not sure what would be our best option?

My biggest issue with the 2000s is that they have a very short run-time. The 3000, and up, inverters, have a much longer run-time because they have much larger tanks. Yes, they are heavier and less convenient, but, unless you want to frequently move them, the larger ones are better, IMO. Now, you =can= buy extended run tanks, some with a T-connection to run 2 2000s, but I consider that somewhat of a bandaid.
