After months of research and waffling back and forth, I finally pulled the trigger on 2 Champion 2000w generators. It didn't hurt that Home Depot has them on sale for $399. It took many hours and phone calls to find the stackable parallel kit, but it was worth the effort. For now only Bass Pro Shop/Cabelas in the U.S. has them.
I have to say, these seem to be as advertised, both started on the first pull, and are whisper quiet in ECO mode. I've got about 3 hours on them trying to get them through the 5 hour break in period. I also have the Micro-Air easy start on the way. Now all I have to do is try and find a place to boondock in this state
