Honda EU3000i Handi Generator Cover

We bit the bullet and plunked down $ for this generator after having sweated through several summers of dry camping. It's certainly quiet for a generator, but let's face it, "quiet" is a subjective term. Inside the trailer with the generator on the ground and idling, if nothing is running in the trailer, it's just a barely-perceptible hum to me (and my hearing is excellent). I thought that the noise of the AC would drown out the sound of the generator when it kicked on, but it didn't---I definitely hear the Honda wind up and work!

Outside, of course, it's very audible----BUT definitely quieter than any other generator in the campground doing the same thing. My point is this: quiet doesn't mean silent. This is not a "stealth" machine! If generators are not allowed at your campground, you won't be able to get away with using the Honda, or any other generator---at least, not if it's got a load on it.

Other: it starts every time, the gas consumption is as advertised, and it's light enough for this 65-year-old with back problems to lift onto the tailgate of my pick-up. The Honda cover fits well but, IMHO, is overpriced---you'll want one, though.

Be advised there is NO OIL in it when you get it, and obviously no gas, so don't be tempted to start it right out of the box.

The cover is very tight on the 3000is and does not cover the complete Generator. Wish I did not order it.

Works just as I knew that it would. I can't ask for better.
