I've posted on here previously about the problems that I"ve had with the Honda EU2000's. You can search and find those posts. After finding and clearing a clogged filter in the fuel tank, they became more reliable, but still hard starting, especially in cooler weather. With my disability, it was difficult to keep cranking on the cord, so I finally sold them. I bought the Champion 3100i with remote start. It retails for about $1200, but I got it delivered for $900 (that was cheaper than either of the 2000's). I haven't taken it camping yet, but have started it a few times to break it in, and hooked up my trailer w/15000 btu AC; it performs flawlessly. Starting is great; push the button on the remote and the choke sets automatically and starts. If it doesn't start the first time after a few seconds, it will wait 10 seconds and try it again. Should have bought this a long time agol
