Hey Bruce, for less than the price of two of those you can buy one 6.5kw
Diesel or a 13kw trifuel (gas, propane, NG) from here:
http://www.electricpowergenerator.com/portable.html

Of course weight might be a problem, they both weigh over 300 lbs.

Or save the cost of the PFC charge and buy a three phase 10kw generator for
$3700 and just use a 6way bridge (no PFC problems with three phase).  10kw
(approx 80 amps) will almost let you drive continuously. 350lbs and it says
it's "Super Quite".
