NEWBIE QUESTION! What generator(s) to get???
So with the purchase of our new fifth wheel we are looking at including the generators. We have a 15k BTU AC unit so it is to my understanding that even 2 Hondas, Yamahas etc are going to be to smal...

We are super happy with our Honda EU series. Though Yamaha might be worth a look. Thanks for thinking quiet.
If I were buying new, I probably would have bought the Hondas. I picked up the 2 Yamaha 2000s and the paralleling kit from another DRV owner for $1200 with less than 5 hours on them - they had never been used "in anger" to power an RV, just run every 3 months for maintenance. The Sidewinder paralleling kit was still in the sealed bag! It was a deal I couldn't pass up, and they've been problem-free so far.
Like the Hondas, the Yamaha EF2000iS generators require a neutral-to-ground bonding plug if they're going to be used with a power protection system as the generators have a floating neutral.
