[C320-list] Portable gasoline powered Inverter/Generators capable of starting 16.5 k BTU AC unit

[Arthur Freedman]

No twistlock outlet,   Just 2 110 volt outlets and a single DC outlet  
for charging battery, but it does have Eco-Throttle.
Very similar in design to the Honda and ~ the same noise levels at Eco- 
throttle and max throttle.
