Thanks for all your input on this, MrRchitty (and others). I've got nothing helpful to add, but I'm seriously contemplating buying this generator, probably in the next week or two, and happy to hear that it has been a solid performer and compares adequately with the lil' red ones.
Like you said,
"compares adequately with the lil' red ones."The CPE 2000i is a great buy and performer. It is obviously a well designed and rugged little digital generator that can serve a RV well.
But, it is NOT an equal to the Honda 2000i - close, but not an equal. The engine needs to be at least a 20cc larger and include a fuel pump to become equal.
My best analogy is the Honda 2000 is like a 3500 series one ton truck, the Champ comes in as a 2500 3/4 ton model. It all depends on how much extra power you need and how much you are willing to pay for the difference.
