Is A-iPower 2,000-Watt Inverter Generator Compatible With Firman to Run in Parallel

Question:

I have a Firman based ETrailer 2000/1600 watt inverter generator and was wondering if this new unit would be compatible with paralleling with the old Firman unit I have. If not, is there another small unit that would be compatible?

The A-iPower 2,000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator - 1,600 Running Watts - Gas - Manual Start # 289-SUA2000i is not compatible with the Firman inverter generator to run in parallel.

Generators are not cross-compatible in that way, so if you have a need for more wattage, what you would need to do is go with two of the A-iPower run in parallel, which you can get with the A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators - 3,000 Running Watts - Gas - Manual Start # 289-SUA2000i-2.
