need help buying a generator for camping

[kalantar]

I am looking to buy a generator to run an AC (and a blender/coffee maker) in my tent, to protect against the desert heat. Too many options/ name brands out there to choose from. I do prefer something that is quiet and reasonable priced.


Any suggestions on which name brand is good to use? I will probably use it 3-4 times a year? How long do these thing usually last and how much gas do they use? I will probably need it to run a good 8 hours each day for 3 days.

Honda Generators are sooooo quiet. Actually I do not think there is a better generator on the market. In fact I tend to sleep better in my Dads pop up camper during hunting season we run it and it helps to cancel out other noise as well.

HONDA does make some dam quiet, small, compact and fuel stingy generators...

I paid about a grand for a 2000 watt Honda generator. Expensive but worth it.

Thanks, I picked up a Honda 7k generator from costco today for about $900. Cant wait to use it.

The Honda is good. Be sure to put the right fuel in it. Mix vs regular:twak:
