Porta Source IG800 inverter generator, opinions?
Link here and more details here.
This is definitely not a Honda eu2000i, but it is of a relatively small size, so it appears useful for two roles:
1: A relatively cheap emergency generator/charger if the starting battery and/or the chassis batteries wind up too low to start the generator or engine.
2: A relatively small generator to have for charging batteries. With a coach that has a 2800 watt Onan or a 4000 watt genset, having something that can run for 14 hours on a gallon of gasoline is more efficient for small loads like charging up the coach batteries.
Again, this isn't a Honda, but it is an inexpensive generator that puts out relatively clean power that is good enough for charging batteries or light electrical tasks, and at 0.07 gallons an hour, it is pretty thrifty on fuel. Sure beats those $100 Harbor Freight two stroke models.
