New Yamaha Portable Generator

This new Yamaha looks like it is more "bang for the buck" than the Honda EU2000i for RVing. What do the experts think? Anybody have any experience with this Yamaha?

Re: New Yamaha Portable Generator

I bought a YG2800i from Northwest Power Tools last year. We love it. If they made the new 2400 back then I would have bought it.

Re: New Yamaha Portable Generator

Try running a 13.5k Roof Air with a Honda 200O and you will know why I purchased the Yamaha 2400. It it awsome!

Re: New Yamaha Portable Generator

If you plan on running your air conditioner you had better look at the Honda EU3000I. You can even get it with remote control. If you only need a 2000 you can pick up a Honda for under $1000.00.

Re: New Yamaha Portable Generator

The 2400 and 2800 Yamaha will start most 13.5k AC units just fine. I have personally seen them run serveral differnt combinations in addition to my own setup.

Re: New Yamaha Portable Generator

Just bought one last week [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

There 1,179 from Wise on E-bay with free shipping.

Should run every thing I have in mind
But I do like the ideal that I could run 2 together like the Hondas
if needed in the future.

Plus all the Bikes are Yamaha's
