He's running TWO Honda 2000i's in parallel, so 4000w to power ONE of his roof air's.

I've tried several types and settled on two Champion 2000's with parallel kit. (about $1K for the setup)..They run everything in parallel, non-eco mode. 50lbs- easy to handle. They use the same carburetor (clone) as Yamaha and the same jets. Get the Yamaha 62.5 jet for high altitude. I change mine over 7500 feet. (Yamaha part number 1HX-1423A-63-AO.) Use non-ethenol gas. On any generator you loose 3% power per 1000feet altitude, so suddenly a 2000/1600 watt is only able to make 1400/1100 watts at some of our Utah and Colorado campsites. If you are running too rich, it's even worse.

I have two Westinghouse 2200i's. Powers my Mk240 Laredo quite nicely. Build yourself an expansion fuel tank if you want more than 4 hours under load.

I owned the Hondas and the Yamahas... 2000 and the 3000 on both.. The Yamaha has a smaller engine than the Hondas. The Yamahas give you a fuel cutoff, fuel gauge, tool kit.. The Honda is a larger engine, No fuel cutoff, Plastic Carb choke and Plastic cam lobes... Bought the Champion 3100 for 599 at Costco. Very Quiet but labors when the AC is on.. The Camphost had a Champion 3400 and It was great for the AC as it did not work hard on his ac.. All Have 3 year warranties. So, for 599 vs 2000 bucks, we went with the Champion.. It really does work great..

Another vote for the Champion 3400. I bought the dual fuel (gasoline & propane) with electric start. About 100lbs. Runs our AC with ease and pretty quite. Paid about 995 from Amazon.

Yes I owned the Westinghouse gen. Worked very well. Great on gas and pretty quiet.
