Champion 3100 inverter. Higly recommend, Have one for 2 years now. Buy at supergen.com for best price. If price not an issue, consider the model that has remote elec start for a couple hundres more. That one can be modded to add an extended run marine gas portable tank.

As far as I know, that is an open-framed contractor generator that is nowhere as quiet as a Honda inverter generator.
It has no business in a campground.
it's fine for boondocking though.

Not sure what Honda you're comparing it with.

Could I run my AC (8,000 BTU) off the Honda 2000i? I'm confused because it doesn't have a 30amp plug in, so how would I hook up to the TT?

You use the standard 30 to 20 amp puck adapter.

You can get the little 30 amp to 20 amp adapter at Walmart for about $5.

That looks backwards. Shouldn't it be a 30 amp female and 20 amp male?

A lot I've seen look just like that but say 30 amp to 15 amp. Is 20 and 15 the same plug?
