Well it looks like for my application which is power my small RV or charging radios in tent camp. The Honda 2200i might be the best choice. Dont want to pack more weight than that. I will be camping with three other seasoned rvers this weekend and will check out their generators. Thanks for reply’s. |

Oh and while we are on generators. How’s everyone securing them while in camp. I always thought those heavy cable bike locks would be harder to cut than chain. But what’s your solution? |

Some rv’s have a 1300 and some have a 1500 ac. My old RV had the 1500 and the 2200 Honda would not run the ac. Another thing to consider is the generator looses output as you climb in elevation. I’m far from an expert, but did a lot of reading a few years back when I was researching the same thing. I believe they lose 100 watts of output per 1000 feet of elevation. Again, going off memory from a few years back. I have the Honda 1000 for charging batteries. Runs everything but ac and microwave. I also have the 3000 which runs everything with the newer 1300 ac. The Honda’s are great. I’ve had the 1000 for probably close to 18 years with a lot of hours. Light and quiet. Starts with one or two easy pulls. Easy to move and secure with a cable. I keep it in the back of my truck when not in use. The 3000 is bigger and has the wheel kit. Easy to start, but harder to move. I originally got this for my dad, and bought a dog ramp so he could wheel it into the back of his truck. Worked great. |

I use a Heavy coated cable with the locks that have the guards on them, like high collars. But, when I leave camp, I put my gens in the trailer, those Honda’s are easy to move around. |

The chain is advertised as being uncuttable with bolt cutters. I simply loop it around the tongue of my camping trailer, and secure the generator that way. I also had a welding shop weld two pieces of the same Vulcan chain around my batteries on the tongue of the trailer, and fasten them with padlocks that can't be cut. I had my RV batteries stolen twice before I discovered this security chain......so far, so good. |
