Question? Can't you make your own parallel cables with standard male cord end plugs? Yes the one end would be hot if you were not careful. But it would work, yes? Chino

I think the big mystery is why Honda Canada sells parallel capability for the eu1000, but not the eu2000.

There are at least 2 ways to interpret this statement:
"WARNING: Generators sold in Canada with CSA certification have the neutral bonded to the frame in compliance with CSA standards. Disconnecting the neutral bond will void the CSA certification of the generator."

Not an RVer, but do not the Canadians require that the neutral be bonded? If so, one would not want the possibility of two different grounds to exist simultaneously.
Just thinking out loud.
I was able to connect with an engineer at Honda Canada. He tells me the Canadian version of the EU2000i is not, and has never been, neutral bonded. So, if tested with a typical household outlet testing device, it would correctly indicate an open ground, just like all USA model Honda generators, with the exception of EB-series models, which are neutral bonded to pass OSHA jobsite regulations.

Thanks for explaining this Robert but you didn't answer why the Hondas are so hard to start when they are cold. Mine is a bear too when it is cold.
