| yeah the Honda ones are like $700 to over a thousand. I have a small 1000 watt one that I got online w/ free shipping for less like $150. It works great, and it's not loud at all. I put it in front of the truck anyways and run an extension cord and you don't hear it at all that way. If you're trying to get one for this weekend though you're probably out of luck...
this isn't the exact one that I have, but its from the same website 1200 Watt Portable Generator | www.kotulas.com | Free Shipping

It is great no noise , no gas, and plenty if power for satellite and tv. Just charge night before you go to game for bout 8-12 hours .Also get extension chord with multi hook ups I think mine has 4 out .It will save getting another cord and less mess.

| We bought a standard car battery w an inverter (not hooked up to the car) that we put on a charger all week and it powers a 47" LCD tv and Direct TV box. We tailgate for 4-5 hours and the battery has never gone out. | |

| Don't get that cheap 2 cycle engine that sounds like weedeater over riding college football games. You pay for what you get. Got one and was not satisfied then bought the Honda . I think deep cycle battery , good inverter is better because quiet and no gas or engine problems
