I use two honda eu 2000's you can parallel circuit them and make 4000 watts 30 amps will run any thing. the neat thing about it is you can unplug one and cool off your race car the lanes when in round robin mode while the other still runs the trailer. They cost around 1800.00 for a pair.


God made cold beer,good friends,hot ladies and race cars don't spit in his face by pi$$ing and moaning about how life sucks!!!

I was wondering about doing that. The Yamaha I have is a great generator. I was wondering if getting another 2000w and running them together would be better. Like you said the only time I'd need both would be when everything was running which wouldn't be very often.

For me it HAS TO HAVE a remote start, when I get up
in the morning I want to put my coffee on the first
thing and I dont want to put on my clothes to go out
and fire up the gen... so for me the remote was high
priority... also during the hot nights I might wake
up and want to turn the AC back on

That's a good point too.

nope, 2000W invertor!

chally, be very careful about sleeping in your trailer with a generator running. That would be the only time I'd want a portable so I could carry it 20-30' away. Be sure to have a carbon monoxide detector hooked up, it may save your life. You would do well to get an exhaust that will exit above the roof line.

On recomendations from here

I bought two of the Honda 2000 gen set and the parallel hookup



They would run my roof air, etc but, not very well IMO

I sold one of the 2000's to a member here, still have the parallel hookup

Kept one of the 2000's for the heck of it

Bought a 6500





If anyone wants to buy the hookup, give yah a deal on it !!
