Rather than the Honda EU3000i, you might want to consider a pair of EU2000i generators hooked up in parallel. I have a single 2000i, and when my big trailer generator dies I plan to add another 2000i for a parallel setup. You can make your own parallel kit fairly easily (PM me if you can't find any instructions, I have them bookmarked somewhere). The two of them are lighter than one EU3000i, and they're easier to move since you can move one at a time. When running lower current items you can just run one of them. Mine runs a 13,500 BTU air conditioner, a 1 hp air compressor, or a full size microwave just fine (but not at the same time). There are places like Mayberry's who sell them pretty cheap but can't advertise their prices online due to agreements with Honda. Last I heard, they are roughly $800 including shipping.

Regards,
