A supplier that ships all over the country (sometimes saving sales tax) and usually has some of the best prices in the country.

Get the EU type much quieter and fuel efficent.
(I have the EU2000i which is great)

For a couple hundred more......
I'd get the EU-2000i, Jim.
If you ever want to run a conventional coffeemaker, small microwave, electric heater, etc., the 1000 wont cut it. Believe it's about 25 lbs heavier,
though. My 2000 even runs my rooftop AC in my Lance. I have the smallest rooftop AC unit made. Nothing else can be on, of course.
Also, elevation and high ambient temperatures will rob a generator of output. Nice to have some headroom.
EDIT: actually it's only about 18 lbs. heavier.

I was thinking about the 2000 also...but the weight/size difference is a lot for portable use...just got a SIX-PACK pop up camper and was thinking of
the smaller gen for remote use....and it would have to be lifted in and out and stored somewhere.....will look at both in person and see/feel them
before I decide....

I imagine that pop-up doesnt have AC.
And, frankly, I never use an electric heater or a coffeemaker. We use the 12v propane heater in the rig and a French press.
So, you probably could get away with the 1000.
One other thing.......dont ever expect to charge a discharged house or car battery with the 8A-12volt charging circuit they have on these generators.
Really sloooooooow. Better to bring a 20+ amp charger.
In fact, Xantrex makes a really good, portable one that stores all it's cables inside it's housing. 3 stage charging, user selectable bulk rate
(40/20/2amp), internal fan, even a setting that "boils" sulfation off the plates. Solidly built plastic housing. Only fault is that the LED window is
really hard to read in sunlight.
Can be found for well under 100.00. Very compact, very light weight.

Honda EX5500 choice...
I posted this on another generator thread, but will add this one to the soup. While the 5500 may be overkill for what you have in mind, I have had
great success with this powerful and quiet Honda and the seller is honest and reliable. Good buys at Acme Tool (nationwide) for me. I bought $300
cheaper here than best competitor.

lero...just seach that site I gave. Dial the 800 number (1-800-916-9473) and ask away. They seem to be very competitive. Not ALL states are
shipping or sales tax free, though....best ask first. Compare first...and I hope you have good luck with your choice...Pompano

turtleandtoad....you can indeed parallel the 1000's, but why do so? (Unless you have some specific reason, of course.)
Two 1000's would cost you $1260 plus $50 for the connecting cable = $1310
One 2000 watt is only $870.
For the difference, you could buy yourself another 120 watt solar panel.
