Based on those two....I'd go with Honda. I'm currently using a predator 3300 from harbor freight and it's been good for three years. However, it's a little heavy to just run the AC
So, how big a genny is needed to run everything in a camper with two a/c's. Lots of the "RV ready" ones are in the 3500 to 4000w range. Doesn't seem like quite enough. Also, are the inverter gens the way to go? Thanks
IF the Honda EU3000 is big enough to run your RV, I'd go with 2 EU2000i's with the parallel hook ups. This is what I did on my bowfishing boat. More run capacity, and each EU2000i weighs 47 pounds full of gas!! That 3000 is well over 200 pounds. AND 2 EU2000i's are cheaper than 1 EU2000i. I was running my 24 volt troller with a converter and 10 big HPS lights on those 2 gennys. They'd run all night on a gallon of gas each. During Ike, I kept my freezers going with them. They'd run all night long and well into the next day on that same gallon of gas... Most efficient and best watt/pound of weight you will ever get.
Make sure whatever you get has an available auxiliary gas tank. I have two Westinghouse inverter generators that I parallel, and they work great, but filling them with gas is a PITA and I’m always spilling it everywhere. Unfortunately there are no external fuel tanks available, nor do they make compatible gas caps so I can make my own.
