I also looked at a Honda but it is $1249 and like I mentioned before the purpose of this generator is to charge up my batteries every few days so the less I spend for quality the better.

That seems like a pretty good price for the Yamaha, I paid the full $1300 price for my Honda. I like the Honda slightly better because of the larger engine 100cc vs 80cc for the Yamaha. For charging batteries and your usage I don't think it would matter but when it is pushed up near it's limit I think the Honda will not overload as fast and I think this is because of the larger engine. This is just what I've read. I'd love to be able to test the Yamaha and see if it would start my a/c like the Honda can.
In any event, I think you'd be happy with the Yamaha.
I've never seen a Champion with one plug, I know mine had two and the ones I looked at at Costco had 2. Was it the black 2000 that you looked at? Not sure why you care in any event, you generally just plug the entire trailer in anyways.
