We were on a family hunting vacation recently. My brother has a 2011 Jayco travel trailer, identical to our 2012 Jayco. He doesn't own a generator yet so occasionally he borrowed either my Yamaha EF2000IS or my parents' Honda EU2000I.
I've always noticed that the eco-throttle (or whatever Yamaha calls it) on my generator doesn't work very well when trying to run our Microwave. The generator won't spool up fast enough when you start the microwave. It speeds up some, but never reaches WOT. Because of this I will always just leave it running wide open if I know we'll be using the micro.
We saw the same result on my brother's trailer with my Yamaha. Not so with the Honda. It would right away start revving like crazy and running the micro just fine.
Even if we left the Yamaha at full speed and started the microwave, it bogged down substantially more than the Honda under load.
Anybody else have a similar experience?
I will set and have a hot coco while this takes place.
So big a world, so little time to see.
