Does anyone know much about the Kipor Generators, they seem to be the same rating as the Honda EU20i but quite a bit cheaper.  Have noticed there's a few for sale on Ebay.

The Kipor 2600 would be my choice.
Still a lot cheaper than the Honda 2.0 and it'll probably run the air con as well, depending on which model.

  Me too, The only thing is the petrol lines ,after a few years I replaced them as they cracked. But runs the air con easy. Paid 1400. 4 years back.

That sounds good to me, I know the honda has a tremendous reputation but they are a bit "exy" and a kipor to do the same thing sounds good

The Honda 2kva and Yamaha 2kva will not start some van aircons .

 

Yamaha2.4 kva and Kipor 2.6kva will start all except the really huge ones . The Kipor is around $700 cheaper .
