Well I camped the weekend with two seasoned RV guys. One was running a Honda 1000i the other guy had a Predator 3500. It weighed 100 lbs. He had put a electric winch arm in back of his truck canopy. To lift it in and out.
To big for me. But it was very quiet.

I run a Yamaha 2400 EFIS (or something like that) and it runs our AC no problem.  20' camper.  Not sure about running other high amp stuff at the same time, never tried.  The Yamaha's run quieter, are more fuel efficient, and  cheaper than the Hondas.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Well a lot of research I decided to try a Predator 2000 inverter.

Half the cost of a Honda.

Try it on the trailer over Labor Day.

Other than the weight of the predator 3500 I love mine and would never switch back to Honda again in the aspect of generators

What about parts for it? I'm looking to update an old Yamaha, which I had no problem getting parts for.  :dunno:

I'm still running a Gen 1 Predator, yes you can get parts for it. So I'm guessing the newer ones parts are available also. I'll try finding the website and post the address. If you wish to run the AC, get a 2200 minimum, with this Gen I can run 1 AC unit, tv and some lights. Runs about 6 hours with that load.

Are you guys like me and run only non ethanol gas? My two Honda 2000's have had nothing but non E gas and Ive never had to tear the carb apart to clean, though if it has sat for months a takes a few pulls. 

Ive gone also to only keeping them half full. That way I am always topping off with fresh gas to mix with the old gas.  :dunno:

I add startron to regular gas and have never had a fuel problem since I started using it.  It’s good stuff.
