Well, if you get the micro-Air easy start soft start , you will probably get by with a single 2000 Watt Honda or Yamaha Generator. A lot lighter in weight.
M & A on the forum tested it and was amazed how well it worked. I will be getting one too.

Micro-Air - Products


Here is the link to the forum where it talks about it.
