My neighbors generator when there is an outage is some kinda contractor grade 7500 watt generator - I can hear it loud and clear anywhere in my house

My eu700 running from bed of truck camping - with my fan from AC running it cannot be heard over that noise maker

PharmGeek,
Do you know where you got the adapter that goes from the 50amp (4 pole male with screw connector) on your AirStream to the 220v 4 pole receptacle twist and lock connector on the right of the generator?

PharmGeek,
Got the EU7000is. Wow is it nice.
Looking for a hard cover to put over the top so one can't see it in the back of my truck. Plan to then slide next to tailgate, then pull roll top up to tight against the hard cover.
Any ideas on what to use for a cover (for travel only)?
tnx

Might want to get a set of these pads from Yakima to keep from bouncing off of tailgate etc... Fit perfectly.

Just kidding.

I don't even have my Airstream yet, all I got is a stinking VIN #.
Is there any other way ...went from one to two EU 2000i units to just one EU3000iS ... much quieter and we love the electric start!

Just ran my intl 30 with two AC/heat pumps. With both on it draws about 4300 watts. Assume this is like the air conditioning draw of both of them. That's why I got the EU7000. Also very quiet with eco throttle. With one air conditioner wouldn't need it.

BlueMesa - I had similar numbers as I recall

The spike when a AC unit kicks on is fast - I'm doubting the Honda unit's readout will display the max it demands for that spike

Hi, did you find the 6KW diesel you wanted? Which one you have in mind? I am after the same

Not yet. The damn Hondas won't die!!! I still plan on the diesel cummins onan, probably used, mounted in a fabricated cage on my flatbed, or under a topper....

More to come when the EU2000's die. Currently they are semi permanently mounted and tied into a 12 gallon aux tank. They run day and night non stop and probably have thousands of hours on them....

What cable are you running from the AS to the Honda? Where did you get it? I'm confused about which receptacle on Honda to use. Also bought the EU7000is.

I got two Honda 3,000 Handi (already got one, the other should arrive and be re-jetted for 8,000 feet altitude today) as they fit under the tonneau. Also a toolbox/gas tank stores 46 gallons of gas on them, got the parallel cable, chain and lock. Onan diesel 6 or 8KW (same dimensions) was my original choice, but they have to be serviced from underneath, so had to the mounted on a frame and will exceed the height limit on my truck's bed while still be covered by the tonneau. In retrospect, I think the Honda 7,000 is quieter and cheaper than the 2 3,000 Handi minus the cables, etc. And while taller than the tonneau, maybe there is a topper in the market that, lower than the cabin, will still cover it. Did not research that.

Here's Honda's official receptacle guide to the EU7000is:










Finally, the large twist-lock receptacles on larger Honda generators are NEMA-standard designs. Dozens of manufacturers offer adapters of various shapes and sizes to convert / connect to an RV-industry standard 'flat blade' design, including Honda...a few example are:
