I know you answered the question about jackknifeing when backing up that you pay strict attention and have not had a problem todate with 15,000 miles. My question have you tried the sharpest turn your tow vehical will make while going froward, you know a u turn on a narrow highway. I think that is where the suprise will come in. Without your set up I don't think that would ever be a problem but with that extra corner sticking out I am wondering.
I just bought a Honda 3000i. Is there more of a power up surge that this generator can't handle than I thought? I figured it would povide enough power for the A/C and Heatpump.
I do like Honda's. I have a EU1000 that I bought when we owned a tent trailer. The 3000 is quiter.
I talked to the Honda rep at the Tampa RV show. He said the 3000 could not run an RV AC unit. Not sure I agree if you make sure the ref. is on gas and don't have an electric hot water heater. It's marginal but should work just linit other electrical draws while using the AC.

Generators, should never be loaded to more than 80 percent of their continuous rating.
That insures a long life.
To use more than 80 percent, will shorten the life of the generator considerably.
I just finished mounting 2 Honda EU2000 on my 2001 Bambi 19'. I thought others might like to see how I did it. The total cost was probably in the $100 range and it probably took 6 hours. I did no welding, but a lot of drilling (not on the Bambi) and bolting. Of course, to maintain the "Silver" look I will leave the Honda covers on. By the way, the Honda cover made for the EU3000 fits the EU2000 with the Gen-Tran installed.
Hi Grizzy and all,
This was posted in 2004. How has it worked out for you? Thanks for the hint about the EU3000 cover for the Gen-Tran
Has anyone else mounted their Honda gensets? Recommendations?
It looks to be a nice setup if your TV is limited on space, however my concerns would be as mentioned recently, the limitations of turn or backing radii and the other concern would be the drone inside the trailer with the vibration of these engines running. There would have to be some humming, steady, subwoofer like buzz transmitted to the living quarters? The water pump comes to mind.
Let us know what you've experienced. Thanks Griz for sharing.
