Very sick of these listed by the max wattage and not regular running wattage. I realize this is the standard for the industry, but that doesn't make it okay.

I am holding out on a deal for an actual 2kw genny.

If you are in a tent, yes, a camper or RV not so bad. If it's a small load I wouldn't worry, but 1500+ watt loads would be a bit irritating. Craftsman brand inverter generators are insanely quiet, but much more pricey than champion, and my champion has been super reliable, even at 20 degrees Fahrenheit

I have this in dual fuel and it works awesome. It's a bit louder than they claim, especially under load, but overall it's a great lightweight generator. It runs my 13,500BTU A/C on propane, so it will have more than enough to run it on gas.

Is the noise unbearable? Like for sleeping and not disturbing the neighbors.

I have a 3100/2800 Champion and it's been really good. My sister-in-law had to borrow it for like 5 days and it ran like a champ. Champion also has a good network to get work done on them as well from what I've seen.

Do you have a soft start installed?

This is a very large ymmv. This will not run my 13500 ac with soft start on gas.

Yes if it was 2000/2500 that would be better. They used to rate generators by the run wattage but that changed some time ago. I use a 2000/2200 Generac inverter generator that I got for $330 shipped that will run most of my small rural home when the powers out and I hooked it into the panel using a two pole breaker jumpered to supply both bus bars in the box, it works good but it's not exactly the way your supposed to do it. I just keep a good supply (25 gallons) of non-oxygenated gas in the garage for up to two years in case I have a rainy day someday. It's cheap peace of mind.

I do not have a soft start installed. My system is a 13,500BTU Dometic on a 2021 camper.

Would this be able to run a commercial blower fan for a bouncehouse? How would I know that before buying? Thanks inadvance I'm a super noob when it comes to this

This generator is rated for 1850 watts continuous. Most blower fans seem to be 1000 - 2000 watts, so choose a fan 1850 or below. Look for watt rating on the blower motor.
