I know that several of you have small 2000 watt portable generators. The new inverter generators are smooth and relatively quiet. On Moonstruck there is a 12 KW Northern Lights generator that gives gobs of power.
Since looking into boondocking with our Hi Lo RV trailer we were faced with a similar situation. Having a Surburban for a tow vehicle a 150# generator is just too heavy for my back. A 46# generator would be no problem, but they are really too small to run an A/C. But wait, there's more. Now they make them to be easily linked together for 3000 or more watts of power. That will pull a 12 16,000 btu A/C. So, that is what I did. For $1,258.00 plus tax, I got two generators and the cable kit for linking. I am a happy camper (pun intended).
These look very similar to the Honda and Yamaha generators. They have a Yamaha engine, and look like quality. Costco is known for carrying good stuff. My trailor is on a storage lot. I took one of the little suckers over to work on it tonight. I am rebuilding a bed platform. One will run everything except the A/C.
