One or two generators?
I have two Yamaha EF2000iS generators, and they work together through the connecting cable. My question is; is it always necessary or desirable to have both generators running? I know I need them ...

I've had one of my two Hondas EU2000i's run out of gas while paired together, and it didn't cause a problem for the other or interrupt the feed to the trailer. When they need to re synch, they do just fine.
Just be aware that you're a bit limited when going thru the receptacles, since those run via the gen's breakers, whereas the banana plugs skip the breaker (which is why safety requires one on the 30a plug circuit).
You lost me.
I think I follow that the gen's receptacles have a circuit breaker in line, and the cable that connects the two gens to the RV power cable doesn't, right? At least I'm guessing what 'banana cables' are.
My Yamahas have a black adapter thingie that plugs into both gens, and gives me a place to plug in my 30 amp cable. It doesn't have any fuses as far as I know. Don't see where they could be.
I've been using that even if only one gen is running.
