Generators for 23 ft TT

Looking into buying two quiet running generators, currently have a Champion 3500 , we don't dry camp very often but when we go I would like to have them on hand, Honda too much $, for the times I will be using it, looking into Harbor Freight Predator, any other suggestions.

This is what i just bought from HD. About 45lbs and rolls easily. I got lucky and got it as an open box item for $350. Looking for 1 more. The parallel kit is $99 and has a 30amp plug built in. You can also find them on ebay for cheap. Also has a Bluetooth interface where you can control it from inside your camper.

I am very happy with 2 Honda EU2000i in parallel for our 23RB. Worth every penny.

Hey Studio where is the 30 amp receptacle? I passed on this one only because it didn't look like it had one? I bought a Predator which I'm very happy with but would have liked the Bluetooth functionality...

Even without it you just needed to get a simple adaptor to plug in.
I know everyone swears by the Yamaha's and Honda's but these lesser expensive units are extremely tempting for the occasional dry camper or emergency situations especially since I can be all in for two at the cost of one honda unit.
The predator is also a great option but will def be harder for some since it's about time 100lbs.

I have the twin Honda's, only because I already had one Honda for a few years, before I needed the second one to drive the AC on the trailer. Since I had one, it made sense to buy the Honda Companion model to go with the 1st one.

If I were starting from scratch, I'd take a very close look at the Champions and Predator's of the world. I would also probably get a pair of them if 1) they could be twined and 2) I could hook up an extended run fuel tank.
