I had a bunch of Cabelas points, and a discount coupon, so today I went down and looked at then bought one.  It is designed to be used on an RV (110 V 30 A) and fits neatly in the bed of my truck.  It is not as quiet as the $2500 Honda, but is lots quieter than my other generator, and my lawnmower.  The Pod is in storage, but we tried it on the neighbor's trailer and it runs his air easily (his is 13.5K BTU as well). Sale price was $319, and with discounts and points I paid a little more than $200.  I can hardly wait til spring to try this out.Keith

Curious which Honda generator you were looking at that cost $2500 ?

I don't recall the model number.  It is the one the local dealer told me I needed to run the air.  Cabela's had a similar one with a similar price today.  Ultra quiet but way to expensive for me.

Ahh     ...I thought you were talking about price, not model number. We are seriously comsidering the Honda 2000. Just not sure which 2000 configuration to get. Leaning toward the "Companion" model because it has a built-in 30 Amp outlet and I wouldn't need an adapter.

Come on down here and we can have a cook out!Tongue
