I see this spring Honda has upgraded and is making a 2200 watt generator. 1db less then the current 2000 model

Now my atwood A/C unit spec saya 11 amps on high. But in testing it never spiked over 10 on start up and was running at 7.xx amps.

Testing I did running my coach on a 2000 honda, made the generator work, but was near max load and generator was revved up and I felt that would use up the gas too fast and probably not good for long term.

Now is another 200 watts puts my a/c load at less the 70%.


I was originally looking at the yamaha 2400 and I have tested that generator on my coach and it worked well. It is slightly heavier and costs slightly more then this new honda 2200.

Again, this is not intended to be mounted in the coach, but I prefer to run a cors and put the generator away from the coach and have the least noise I can get.

Thoughts? Is 70% load going to suck the fuel tank dry in less then 8 hours?
