Generator

Love to hear suggestions for a generator. Any thoughts?

This EU3200i gen lives in the bed of our TV. It starts on the second pull every time.  I have always been a fan of Honda products for their whisper quiet running, reliability, and longevity. We rarely use our 3200, but we would rather have it and not needed than need it and not have it. 
Our 3200 will run our 13.5 Truma Aventa just fine.  There are lots of lower cost or cheaper decent quality  generators options out there. Many use the Harbor Freight and big box store gens. It really depends on your budget and how often you plan to run a gen. There is a company in Mass that does LP conversions on the Honda 3200 if you choose to go the LP route. You will experience a little power loss using LP  as explained in this link. The upside is you never have to carry gasoline.

Not the lightest and probably not the quietest (although it is not loud). Most importantly it fits under the tonneau cover in my truck bed.  I run off the propane so I am not mucking with gas cans. This and the size (both dimensions and power output) were primary considerations in my choice.  Price is right.  Powers the Ollie including AC with ease.  Champion Power Equipment 5500/4000-Watt Electric Start Gasoline and Propane Powered Dual Fuel Inverter Generator W/CO Shield and Quiet Technology 201469 - The Home Depot.  I use ramps to get it up in the back of my TV.  Since I have the full battery package and solar, I only take it along if I think I am going to need the AC (which is not often).  Provides a minimal home backup source until I do something bigger and better.
