Didn’t say I was an expert! And yes my trailer has two axles. After speaking directly with Yamaha I was told I possibly could run my current Yamaha with an EF2200iS but there might be some complications. I’m not looking for complications so I got a deal on a Yamaha EF2200iS combo to run in parallel to power my AC, Microwave, Lights, Furnace, Waterpump, Fridge/Freezer without problem.

Got some kind responses that were appreciated greatly, the there was yours…..figured there’d be one hostile pompous response in the group.


Depending on the size of your AC, you should only need to parallel the generators to run that. Everything else should run fine with just 1 generator. Someone asked what size of AC you have, you might not need 2 generators to run your AC...

I know that Champion allows one to parallel different sized generators. Check the manual to make sure, but having a 5500 watt model and a 2000 watt model can give enough headroom not just for the A/C and running the microwave, but one can turn off one of the generators, for less fuel use.

Different brands and power can parallel as long as they have the ports. There are some vids out there where parallel can happen even without the ports.
Don't believe me? Do your research.

OP already bought his new gennys. Although a total of 7500W capacity is enough headroom to run the AC, microwave, and a small welder or maybe the neighbors AC too!

What’s the need to be rude and condescending here, with someone that’s simply just looking for help? Really? I initially thought this site might actually be helpful without the caustic input…

WHAT T F is THAT replying to? Made me curious so I looked back through this thread and saw no previous rudeness or even negativity. Finding slights where there is none, all glory be to victimhood, even in a simple camping forum.
This is the wild, wild internet, time to toughen up, and suck it up, buttercup.

I think it refers to a post that got edited to remove the negativity.

I have one Honda EU2200i. It will run my A/C just fine, although I have added a Micro Air Easy start a year or so after buying the gen.
