It does concern me that the inspection tag shows 2kw hopefull that is an indication of what they test it at and not what it is rated for!
Maybe it is....
The specs from EBAY say:
Engine:
3.5kW peak, 3kW continuous
That's how much shaft horses you've got. From there, it's all downhill as the generator and converter* losses are included.
Generator
2.8kVA peak, 2.6kVA continuous
It doesn't say whether that's the rating of the high frequency generator or the rating of the inverter output. The inverter may actually be 2kW.

* I'm not using the term "converter" in the RV nomenclature sense. In the power electronics would, "converter" is used for any device that converts electricity from one form to another. "Inverter" would be incorrect terminology since this is a "rectifier-inverter"
