Don,
You are looking at the best generators in my opinion. Either the Yamaha or Honda are great units. Both are extremely quiet and very fuel efficient. If I were to get a new generator it would be one of those two.

I believe the Honda 3000 is quieter than even the Honda 2000. And the Yamaha is just about the same. I don't think you could go wrong with either unit.

Try checking Amazon and Craig's List. The often have units for sale.

Good luck.
Dennis

3000amp or 3000 watts. Just purchased EU2000i, EU2000i-Companion, and the parallel cable in a combo package for $1899.99 on line. Best I could do locally was CW and they wanted over $2399.

Fire5er,
I didn't catch the AMPs vs Watts! Sure hope it is watts. And CW seems to always be on the high $$$ side of things. I think you'll be very happy with your generator setup.

Good luck.

Don,
Don't know if you're a member of Escapees or not but they have a Forum and often have generators for sale. Even if you're not an Escapees member you can join the Forum and participate in the discussions.

Good luck.

I do have a generator for sale, but it's an Onan 4000 and I am WAY out of your way in Indiana.

3000 amp is going to set you back more than you paid for your truck and trailer!
