You're prob on to something... Those look like pretty nice little units, feature wise for sure. And reviews being positive says a lot for reliability and longevity. Give em a shot!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Which of the ones you mentioned would be the most effective in a static remote location? Which would have a longer service life, with less repairs necessary to facilitate frequent usage?Which will have less strain on your resources?Which will ensure you have constant, dependable power when you need it, in any weather?Once you nail those requirements, then you'll have your answer. When in doubt, mission statement it out.

My Honda has giant UW Husky decals on it... Just sayin!
Two words... Eco-throttle.Look at the EU3000 watt Honda if you need more juice for A/C and microwave, if you think you really need those things when boondocking.Yeah spendy, buy once cry onceI say.I'm obviously biased, so take it for what it is. But choosing Honda was the best decision I ever made for our RV'ing. So efficient and quiet.Edit: I see the NT has similar functionality... That changes things a bit :)
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
So I was in at my Evenrude/Honda dealer awhile back. My EU2000 has a gazillion hours on it, and asked them about this fact and should I be thinking of a fresh standby. The Salesperson, said she'd never seen one come in for motor troubles. Just change the oil and they last forever. This is a family run business that I've dealt with throughout the years and I guess if a salesperson isn't oushing a new one when you ask they just might be that good. The reality of mine is 2-300 hours a month of run time for the past three years, plus previous owners use, it came with cabin.

Do they make propane conversion kits for those Honda doodads? I think that would be handy to run off of to keep from lugging around two (three) fuel sources. I just bought a 22k generac. Doesn't fit on a camper tongue though... :(Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He needs it to power up that Grand hotel of his. Speaking of which, we haven't seen any pics of it lately. How's it lookin Blaine?
Is that 22 a diesel or gas? Pretty sure there are kits for most gassers for propane, maybe NG too.Yep, hows the hotel, getting close to check in??
Many RVs use diesel as they have to run gen sets even when on the road to run all three AC units en route. They are plumbed to the main tank.I really like diesel for a number of reasons. The chemistry of diesel is unmistakable. There is simply more energy available in a pound of diesel than gasoline, propane or natural gas. Problems are storage of fuel and weight if its portable.I'm still on the fence about my BU gen needs out in the country. No nat gas available. I've given up on investing in a nat gas gen here at home, choosing instead to relocate to the country place if necessary. Much lower cost to operate since it has 1/3rd the square footage of my city house and the ability to run a small gen set, say 10K, for a much longer period of timeSo for me its either propane, gasoline or diesel. Gas is out, so I'll likely end up with both a diesel and propane gen set. Diesel unless its not available then draw off the propane tank.Anyone have experience with stuff like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/MEP-831A-Military-Diesel-Generator-Survival-Tactical-Quiet-Retreat-Power-Hunting-/262006996725Not exactly going to toss it in the back of the truck but at 300lbs, it is portable.
