backup generator specs... [RE-wrenches]

I'd tell them to get one of those inverter/generators, I know Honda  
makes them and I believe a couple of other their competitors make  
them as well. I've been awed at how well the one I use regularly for  
battery charging works. Can't recommend them high enough.
