Re: Portable Generators
We have the Honda eu2000 you will be very happy with it, I would say borrow one and see if it will start up your AC. Also i would not considr teh eu200 bulky its like carring a 5 gallon can of gas.

Re: Portable Generators
Keith, What Kind Of Rate For This Eu2000 And Is It Truly Safe To Run Off The Back Of The Boat For Overnighting. I Have Heard Several Horror Stories Of Carbon Monoxide. I Have Detectors But Just Wanted Your Safe Input. By The Way My 38zx Has Shore Power, Frig, Micro, Tv/vcr, And Ac/heat. My Frig And Tv/stereo Run On Dc But If I Had To Zap Something In The Micro In A Cove, Could This Size Gen. Handle The Power. Thanks Again.

Re: Portable Generators
Clay,
I have a Honda eu2000i that will run my MarineAir VCP-10K unit with no problem, even on eco-mode. I'm here on Lake Travis if you want to plug it in and see if it'll crank up yours. It'll also run my fridge and charger at the same time.
I strap it to the swim platform and run an adaptor right into the shore power. The boat thinks its at the dock. I have a couple of CO detectors and they never even see a whif as long as we're anchored bow into the wind.
I'm up at Dutchmans (now Easy Street). We're out almost every weekend weather permitting if you want to give it a try.
