Slim,

This past spring, I did some dry camping in one of the National Forests here in Michigan.  I was chasing the elusive morel mushroom.  Anyway, to that end, I purchased a 2000 Watt Honda EU Generator.  The price is high $900 +, but the product is excellent. It is extremely quiet, and has a economy trottle feature which will easily support a 120 volt tv and recharging your battery.  When required: coffee pot, toaster, etc. the unit will rev up to handle the excess load.  Of course, one must manage the usage on high wattage items and the two thousand watts output won't handle the air conditioner.  It only weighs 48 lbs.  There is a 3000 Watt EU unit (it weighs around 150 lbs) and several smaller EU Models.  Most, if not all, of these Honda generators will run in parallel.  Therefore, for a another $900+ I could run at 4000 watts.

Happy Trails.............George
