Travel Trailer Power source while "dry camping"

[Gamehunter034]

We have an Onan 2000 in our camper. We have a/c, microwave, tv and all the little things without any problems. You might have to pick and choose what you have running like your hairdryer.......though.

Thank goodness i shave my head! Lol..sounds more like I'll be leaning towards a 2k when the time comes!

I run the EU3000is.  Super quiet and great fuel economy while still being able to run ac and microwave. The companions are a nice alternative, but I didn't want to mess with two and the 3000 was cheaper than the two smaller units together.  It is a bit of a beast, but I figured you only have to load and unload it once.  Keeps the business computers up and running if we lose power at the homestead too.  That was an important part of my decision as business comes first around here.

The 3000 was nice when we were early archery elk hunting in my dads trailer...he has since sold the trailer but uses the generator when they lose power at their house in the fall. It is a beast!

The 2000 is awesome! I had my camper built with a Penguin AC unit which is 9500 BTU instead of the 12000 ect. The 2000 wont run those but runs my Penguin just fine!
Its all it can do so dont start the micro, hair dryers, coffe makers ect.

  about 10   years ago I bought a Craftsman generator, 3500 off craigs list for $125.00. It works great. When it  quits I 'll buy another.

I have a Yamaha EF2400. It was designed specifically to run an RV A/C.

It'll start my A/C up to about 4500' in elevation.

I have a honda eu 2000, and it is. The purfect size for dry camping.  It runs my 29 footer fine. My brother has the same set up, and in the early season if we need the ac we hook our. Generates together, and they will run both trailers ac at the same time. As long as you only start one unit at a time and once the first is going then start the other

I thought they sold capacitor kits for a/c's that would allow them to start off a 2k genny.... maybe I was daydreaming that, but I was pretty sure such a thing was out there. that said, my old 2k honda would start and run my ac, as long as there was no other load to it. after It was running that little generator would run everything else I needed it to do as well. (no micro in my old camper)
