Yah, having the 30A outlet is worth some bucks. The outlet itself is rather costly if you buy it at Home Depot or Lowe's.
All of those that look like this are made in China nowadays, I think. They're all copies of a Honda -- or at least the engine is, including the air cleaner and muffler. You can even install Honda parts on the copy, or Chinese parts on the Honda. If I remember, the Honda prototype is Model GX630 and is available with or without electric start. In my experience the Chinese engine is every bit as good, every bit as reliable, and about one-sixth the price. I've owned two of these Chinese copies (with different brand names but clearly identical), one without and one with electric start. Each always started instantly. The non-electric-start one was stolen, and probably is still serving the thief. The other one went with that Class B when I sold it, lives in Texas now, and has never once failed to start instantly, in any weather including butt-freezing cold.
