In the "business plan" stage of my mobile detailing business. I will probably be working out of one of the following - PT Cruiser (with rear seats removed there`s alot of space), Scion xb, Honda Element. None of the equipment that I plan on using is more than 120V, 1800W, 17Amp. I`ll be using ONR for washing (or similar product, like DP) so I won`t need space for a water tank (although I am considering getting a 25 gal. tank). I digress - Does anyone have any ideas? While price is definitely a factor, durability, portability, and quiet are my main concerns. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Honda makes an excellent line of small, portable and extreemly QUIET generators. You can get the 2000 watt model for aorund $800 I believe. I personally have a briggs/straton 5500 watt generator in my trailer, and it has to be the loudest, most obnoxious thing ever. I`m just waiting to find a used honda at a decent price locally to replace it.
