Honda EU1000i generator

AustinHealey

Anyone have any experience with eh Honda EU1000i generator running their air conditioner and charging their battery?

Any comments? Anybody used this small generator? A lot lighter than it’s big brother the 2000, and all I will be using it for is Airconditioner, norcold, and occasional charging battery.

Hmm. I do not know about this exact generator, but 1000W max is a little low for some devices. I know the ACs that come in the T@Gs tend to have a fairly low running wattage, but only having 900-1000W at most can limit what else can also run. We got a WEN 56203i for about $300 on Amazon. It can run the entire camper, if needed. (No microwave and AC at the same time, of course.) 38lbs, and super quiet. 51dB most of the time.

I would add up the watts for all the things you would need to run, and get a generator that meets that need.

I use a similarly sized Westinghouse and it works just fine for powering my T@G. I expect you would be fine.

I've been very confused about the whole generator thing and have been watching a thousand YouTube videos and asking around. My stepdad suggested the Honda EU2200i, but at $1200, I couldn't do it.

I went with the Champion 2400W Duel Fuel from Cabela's. They are just barely louder than the Hondas, and I like that you can switch it over to propane if you need to. I've attached the link.

That will work JUST fine. And it will provide plenty of power for all your needs.

I don’t know anything about the EU1000i, but I have an EU2200i and I have been very pleased with its performance. It’s relatively quiet, for a generator and I’ve never had a problem getting it to start.

My 700/900 watt Baja propane generator has never let me down or wanting more power. I have a 2018 T@G with no microwave. Runs AC fine along with everything else. Weighs only 26 lbs. No smally gas cans. More power is great, but I dont want the 50lb weight for no benefit that I require.
