[VAC] Re: 3000 watt generator



Bill, that Honda 3000 runs the air conditioner with no problem.  The
largest load appears when the a/c cuts in, but then it drops to a more
reasonable level.  You can hear the Honda surge a bit on a/c startup,
but it's still quiet.

The unit is extremely quiet.  You can have a normal conversation while
standing next to the Honda when it's running.  15 feet away, it's just
noticeable.  With the trailer between, you have to listen to know it's
running.

I'm completely satisfied with it.

BTW, the Honda units have a 12VDC charge outlet for charging batteries. 
There is an inexpensive cable accessory for direct connection to the
batteries, and can be used while the generator is providing AC to the
trailer.  Very convenient.
