Paul thank you for the thread. Very helpful. I was considering a diesel Kubota but the expense is twice as much and the weight is probably three times as much. I listened to the Kubota run and it seemed very loud.

I do not know the cost of buying 2 but you might look at a Honda 3000 they run about $2000. and we carry one of those as a backup for our main generator, it has a lot bigger gas tank than the others for a longer run time.

I just bought a used EU3000is for about 900 bucks. It runs my 13.5 AC, fridge, outside fan, radio, and lights at the same time. Goes all night and most of the day without needing gas. On wheels, love it

Have 2 2000's for our trailers. They do a great job with AC H2o heater and microwave. Best part is they are about 50# each so you can lift them, and you can turn one off if your not running the AC or microwave to save fuel. Super quiet as well. Minimal maintenance and easy to start. Check with Wise Sales in northern Illinois, you can usually get the aux fuel tank included for the price of the generators elsewhere. Shipping was also free.
