Picked up another Honda gennie....

My bad. I was reading 2 2000's, not a 3000 & 2000.

Honda definitely says you can't twin a 3000 & a 2000.

I bought an extended run tank in order to be able to run both gennies all night if the temperature and humidity requires to help with the gas issues.

There is the issue of having to maintain two engines, but I figure I have more time than I have muscle power, and healthy backs.

I would highly suggest you keep both gennies, and twin them to run the AC. One 2000i may or may not run a 13.5 ac, even with a hard start capacitor. And you will not be able to run any thing else with one 2000i, even if it can run the gennie.

Also, if you go in the mountains, that 2000i will probably not be able to run the AC at all. The out put drops 2.5% for every thousand feet you climb in altitude.

I just bought a Companion 2000i to go with my older 2000i. Now I can run the AC as well as other appliances with no problem. During early part of football season, when it's hot and humid, the AC is needed. later in the year after the temperatures are cool to cold, I'll only take one Honda with me to the games.

Fail definitely meant lacking the amps to kick it in gear. haha

I believe the AC unit is original to the Skamper from 1991.

I'll def. try it with the hard start cap.
It faulted without it when I tested it prior to TT purchase.

The 2000 is a lot better on my back. Besides, I can pack it and hold a beer in the other hand.
:-)

Any hoo... I'll have at least 1 gennie that will turn over the AC.

The other will likely go back on CL.

I only have the one single eu2000i.
I just picked up a eu3000is yesterday.
I highly doubt that I can link these 2 differing models together.

Another 2000 Companion model would be nice, but then I'd have 2 engines to maintain. 2 tanks to keep full, etc.
The trade off is the weight of the eu3000is.

Decisions decisions.
