Northern Tool - Midwest Fuel Extender for Honda Generators
some licensed dealers as well like Tool and equipment rentals...some have better prices as well....bought mine at Vandalia Rental for about 100 bucks cheaper back when they were 1049 at Honda...

Now wait a minute...I thought the Honda 2000 watt couldn't start an AC unit because of the surge. How many BTUs is your AC?
Mines a small window unit about 5200 btu's..it has no problem...
I have a 12,000 BTU A/C and Heater combo, the 2000 runs it fine.

Yeah I need to post a picture of the table for you'll.
But Eddie you and I have the old style 2000...the new ones don't have the amps...it would not work on the Chefs...

I don't know now...I have talked to a few guys with newer Hondas and they say they aren't havung any issues with the "startup" of the compressor...maybe its just my unit or the one generator that the guy was nice enough to let me try...I mean it was a rental unit and he lost a sale and if it would have been just that ine unit you'd have thought that he might have tried another, but he was content to let me go after it died when the AC compressor hit and the surge didn't take care of it...
Personally, before I bought any genset, if at all possible, hook it up to what you want to power and see if it handles it..unless you are absolutely sure it will do the job, i mean the Honda is a darn good unit, as long as it will do what you want it to...

I told him where to go to get the old style, 22 or so miles from him at the time...

you can run your ac, tv, laptop, microwave, and a light all at the same time from your honda 2000.
Glad to hear it - the Proheat is toast, and the boss is planning to try the Honda genset [with a window AC unit] on my truck. I get to be the guinea pig, so if we do it, I'll be posting questions, for sure.

no cheri i wasnt saying i have done it i was asking ovm if that was what he meant to say. ovm is probly using just micro then turning ac on then turning other things on. do to initual surge requirements.
Once the gen is running I can use the the Micro and AC at the same time....also usually have the LPT and a 12" fan running..
There are no surges in this extreme heat once the AC compressor kicks in...it stays on....
