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.


That's a nice trash can, you shoulda bought that trailer behind it though.

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 did you pay.
At the time they were on sale for 799 each.

As a HONDA OPE dealer I cant even come close to that price. They are only making 4% r.o.i.  MSRP on the EU1000 is $789. My cost + shipping on one single EU2000 is $10 more than they can sell them for. This is the reason small businesses go out of business. The big box gets pricing that allows them to sell product at nearly a loss to me. To make matters worse we are expected to fix them & take care of their customers who they promised the world to & made them think "everything is warranty". Ok I am ranting now. All I ask is when you need to purchase these things give your local guy a chance.
EU2000 at Norhtern Tool = $799!

A broke down generator on Thursday before camp trip weekend = $0!

Same day service when supporting a local business/dealer & you dont screw up your weekend trip= priceless.
