Generator recommendations

I just bought a 2720 Trailmanor. For the past three years I have owned an Aliner Expedition. I use a Honda 2000eu generator to power the fullt equipped Aliner. I have been told that the 2000eu will not be adequate for the Trailmanor, mainly because of the larger A/C unit.

I am asking for recommendations as to what generator I should get. Brand and output recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..

If you still have the Honda, give it a try. At lower altitudes the 2000 may well run the TM. If not, you could add a 2000 and together the Hondas should do the trick with ease.

The other advatage of the 2000s are their size. They both may fit in the storage on a 2720. If it were a 3124 you can stow the larger gensets (like the Yamaha 2400).

If you no longer have the 2000, try looking at the Yamaha 2400is. They are powerful enough to run the a/c and are man portable, if you are not lugging it too far. It only costs a few hundred more than the 2000...

Thanks NG for the info. I do still have the Honda and will give it try. I will pick up my new 2729 on Thursday. Looking forward to the extra room. Thanks again

If you do get the second Honda, make a companion model. It has a built in 30 amp fused outlet. Takes up less space than the Honda parallel converter. You give up the 12 VDC battery charging outlet as a tradeoff.

(joke)Wow! A TM with more room closed then when opened!!!(/joke)

All kidding aside, you really should look at the 2000 with the 30 amp connector built in. It is a far smarter/better deal for you.

I am not sure since it has been a long time since I looked at a 2720. You MAY be able to stow both gensets in the storage under bed. I am not sure since I don't remember how deep the storage is...

Oh, dint you know this is a new model??

Actually, sorry for the typing mistake. I have been trying to transition from typing with my feet, to using my hands, but I sometimes make mistakes.

I can remember 1 or 2 times in the past 5 years that I made a mistake.... I don't remember the others.

Fess up. It was that dog that was doing the typing. Everybody knows just how dumb he is: he doesn't name his files consistantly, never makes backups, and drools in the keyboard...
