Myself personally I do not Boondock and live in the NW just like you and the only time the power goes out is in the fall/winter when there is no need to run 2 gens for A/C and that is why all I need is my one Honda EU2000 with a 30amp RV recpl kit as it powers everything I need it sips gas is Quiet and does not take up much room in my basement and I have only had to use it 2 times in 5 years fulltiming on the Wash coast and the weather gets NASTY out here(like RIGHT now
) you would think the power would go out more often
