I need to purchase a generator for my Jayco 26 BHS G2 JayFlight. How do I know if I need two Honda EU2000i Generator's from campingworld or if I can get away with just one?

It depends on what you want to run. If you want to run the Air Conditioner you will need two.

It depends what you want to do with the generator! Just charge the batteries and run some small appliances, the single 1000w will work fine. If you want to run the A/C even the dual 1000's will be light. I went to the Yamaha 2400 so that I could run my 13.5K BTU A/C.
Either way, you'll get better pricing shopping at Mayberry's or at Wise than you will at Camping World.
I bought my Yamaha from Mayberry's.

depends on what you use it for. Perhaps buy one, if you need to, buy another if you don't like just one. Dual 2000's will handle it all.

I have run my a/c on just one of the gens but it will sometimes kick out on overload even with all breaker off except main an a/c. When twinning the 2 Honda 2000i the gens run slower, quieter, and longer on a fill up. I recommend you twin the 2 gens. The advantage here is you can run one gen when not using the a/c, saving fuel. You have 2 gens instead of one, so should one decide not to start you have a back up.
2003 Jayco 308fbs eagle 33' tt, towed by a 2003 Ram 3500 slt, quad cab dually, cummins diesel ho, trailer towing package, with 6 speed manual. Hauls better 1/2, 3 kids, myself, and a 2003 ez go clays car.. I have added so far, neon lights, clearance lights, back up lights, black light, lift kit, mud tires, and everything necessary to make the golf cart street legal. It's now ready to spend the winter in the garage for more mods. More neon, strobe lights, alarm, a pa system, maintance, and whatever else that comes along. This golf cart does wheelies and travels thru 7 inches of mud when need be. Two honda eu2000i gens twinned to supply the electrical power. Latest addition an 04 Honda Goldwing.

I have a Honda 3000 and it runs the entire trailer. I have it mounted on the back of the TT to the frame. Decided on the 3000 because is heavier and being bolted down less likely to be stolen.

Did the same thing as H & E, with the exception that I purchased a Yamaha 3000. Works fine and you hardly hear it in the TT when its running.

A single Yamaha EF2400i will run your AC, and is just as quiet and efficient as the Hondas. That would be a good way to go. If you don't need to run the AC, they there are several 1k & 2k gennys that will work.
