Generator-keep it?

I have a eu2000i. It will start my AC (13.5 btu) and run it but it is working hard near the high end of it cap rating. That's at ambient temps of 95 or so and at 1100ft ASL.
So I picked up a new eu2200i yesterday and a parallel cable, thinking I could run em both when AC might be needed. Neither will be working hard. Then using the eu2000i when lower temps are expected.


I am rethinking my choices and seeking opinions. Keep or sell the eu2000i? The eu2200i should do it all and there isn't much difference of gals per hour between the two.


One or both will always be riding in the TV.

TIA.

Btw, eu2200i @ 850.00 cash, Atlanta. Not me and no interest. Just passing it on.

Just a question did you check with the mfg about paralleling two generators of different wattage size.

Read this. The info near the bottom is especially relevant. Your eu2000i must fall into the serial number range as shown on the document linked below.
Info was hard to find and I really don't think mother Honda wanted to put it out there. It works, I have tried it and measured my results accordingly.
