   We got the Champion inverter generator duel fuel 3100/2800W.  It's just under 100 lbs and has very useful handles, so I can lift it into the back of our truck with out a problem.  Seems to run the AC comfortably on propane, but starting the AC is always challenging, especially after it's been running and needs to restart shortly after turning off.  It's a just about as quiet as the Honda and Yamaha, but much, much less expensive and comes with a 3 year wheel to plug warranty.

	+1 SH, very happy with a light weight single genset, I don't want a genset that weighs a 100 pounds, I want an emergency power source that functions to keep me rolling and working. I can charge my battery, run the micro and the AC and pick it up and carry it. Without adding significantly to weight. I have a Pod to have some constraint otherwise I would have kept my class C.

	This is interesting. I'm running the same generator and encountering the same problem. Would you steer me to a website to learn more about these units? Also, how, where did you install it?

	If it is the Micro-Air Easy Start, then the web site is: https://www.microair.net/collections/easystart-soft-starters Don't forget the discount code FORESTRIVER The unit is installed inside the unit on top of the R-Pod. There is a good guide on the web site for installing in the Penguin II unit.
