I am looking atHonda portable generators for use when no services are available. We have a Sundance 3000MK with one 15k BTU AC. Can a eu2000 Honda unit or similar size handle running AC? What would be adequate size if not? What is your experience? Thanks, John
For a simple and more cost effective solution for a benny,..may I recommend a powerhouse 3100 watt inverter genny? I love mine (but I don't use it very often). Very quiet, decent on fuel burn, remote start and hour meter at a very affordable price. It does take 2 people to load it up though.
I'm happy to hear that you recommend the powerhouse. I'm picking up a 3100 tomorrow. I got a good deal on a factory refurbished model.
I did the same thing since we do not boondock-we only use it for emergencies or just to cool the unit at a roadside lunch. I think the DB's are 68 on the high side not much higher than Honda's high side.http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/champion-power-equipmenttrade;-3500w-4000w-portable-generatorIf you are looking for a generator for emergency or very little use then go with a Champion from Camping World. They are setup just for RVs (proper oulets) and are priced for emergency use ($200 to $500). I have a 3500 and works great when I need it. Yes it is louder than a Honda or others but when the power went out in the RV resort I was the only one with power and water.
I could not justify spending $2000 on a generator that sits in my TV box and is rarely used. Again it depends on your needs and funding.
