I'm about to start a new mobile food business here on the Northern California coast - a mobile crab shack trailer - and I'm looking at generators for my trailer. I need about 4000w worth of power at full operation so I'm looking at both the Honda and Yamaha quiet generators. Everyone in the business seems to say that these two brands are the only way to go for reliability and low noise. But the honda 6500w and yamaha 4500w models are pretty expensive. I can get a 3000w honda and a 2000w honda for much less combined. My question is does anyone have experience with running two Hondas in parallel (they have a kit that allows this) with a food truck? seems like it would be nice to be able to run only one if you aren't using all your appliances, or both if you are. Will the noise from two smaller generators be more than one larger one?
Any generator advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm exploring all options.
