they have the best prices I have found on the honda generators. we use (2) honda 2,000 watt generators with a special 30 amp circuit to run my parents travel trailer. There is a special 30 amp circuit you can get that hooks the (2) honda 2,000 watt generators together. They are the really quiet generators (like 55 db's). They normall run about 8 hours on a tank of fuel (something like 1.5 gallon tanks) under load. Unloaded they will run 12 hours on the same tank. In my opinion this is the best way to go. They are not cheap, but they are very quiet and you can sleep peacefully.

I can handle that for you. I am not far away from Palmetto. We sell Honda generators & briggs & stratton. I have all the quiet Hondas in stock, like someone said they are quiet, but not cheap. Check your PM's. We have all those quiet Hondas in stock including the brand new EU6500 watt model, it is quieter than the EU2000 that everyone speaks of. The EU2000 is 59dB's & the EU6500 is 57dB's. It will run a motor home without blinking. All on sale right now, assembled, serviced & tested upon delivery. Just remember, you may get a good deal on the internet, but you wont get good timely service when it is needed. All of our customers get same day priority service everytime. Let me know if I can be of any help.

We have all the Honda EU series in stock. The EU2000 units can be paralleled together to produce 4000watt with 30 amps for RV use. The nice thing is that you can carry each of them like a briefcase 46lbs each. Or you can just take one for an overnighter. You can sleep next to these, they are so quiet. I have 3 of the 2K's left. Special prices for pairs. PM me if interested.

If you want to get your monies worth I sell Welder Generator combo machines.....Most times for what you pay for just the generator....Plus when you decide to get rid of it it has more sell points then just an old wore out generator...PM me for details or come see me at the Rally......

your exactly right, you can carry them. the EU3500 is like 150 lbs, that is the exact reason my dad purchased two of the 2000 series with the parrallel unit, so you don't have to kill yourself setting up camp.

Those little hondas are great. They are so quiet you barely here them running and they are easy to transport. I got two out of the Norther tool and equipment catalog.

How much for a 4KW gen/welder with 30A output? Will it run all day on 3 gallons of gas? Can you sleep in a tent right next to it? I agree on usefulness of a welder, but most people dont know how to weld. Hondas dont lose there resale value. Also what about weight. Can you carry one under each arm? For camping you cant beat these units anywhere. For home power & jobsite, the welder/generator would be nice though.

Miller welder/generators don't lose value either, but i wouldn't want to sleep next to one!! I forgot, not everyone welds and it would be way cheaper to get a harbor freight 5500watt and a lincoln buzz box if you wanted to be loud, have power and weld.
I suggest anyone who camps get a honda EU so you don't drown out the satellite TV in my SILENT inverter powered tent.

Sorry Yall, I forgot to add that I have a Onan 5.5 microquiet when I camp in this
but when I go camping @ my other property I don't like the hassle of trying to get in with the roads the way they are sometimes. I am just looking for a cheap 4-5000 watt plain ordinary genny.

I also stock the good old noisy Brigss & Stratton 3500, 5600 & 6200. They are labeled & sold under the Snapper brand name. 2yr warranty. All have pneumatic tires & the "quiet" muffler.
