Generators for 5er

[dogvetia]

After 35 years in motorhomes with on board diesel generators, we are downsizing to a 32 foot fiver. Have a ton diesel to pull so that should not be an issue. Issue will be generating enough juice to power both airs and a couple of frig wine cooler.. want something quiet since we dry camp some.. is a generator mounted on a rear rack or one carried in pick up bed better? Is a single 7000 Honda better than 2 smaller generators hooked together to provide adequate power better? I would theft maybe issue on rear rack mounting. Ant advice from experience would be appreciated. I fear the move won't be pain free but to look on it as a challenge. Thanks

A generator carried on a rear rack needs substantial reenforcement.

Electric and remote start. They also have a dual fuel for $1100.

Pianotuna I just googled it and it says it has wireless remote start.

Bgum,

Does the Westinghouse i4500 have remote electric start?

I would go with 2 Westinghouse i4500 with a 50 amp parallel cord. We have two of their i2500 and they are strong and quiet with good fuel mileage. Two i4500 will provide all the juice you need and at times you will want to run only one. Our Westinghouse has been very reliable. They cost less than $900 per.

Two 15k AC'c, a converter, maybe an inverter for the fridge? Add it up. Sounds like you are in the market for a Honda EU7000is....about $4500+.
