Generator Recommendations
We've been dry camping a lot more and our poor old generator has seen the last of it's days. It was one we had before we bought our TT and it would recharge the batteries, but wouldn't run the AC. ...

Champion 3100 inverter generator. Read the reviews on here, it has become one of the best on the market and will easily pull your 13,500 btu air-conditioner. We ran our 15,000 btu AC at 7,000 ft and no issues what so ever. Best inverter generator I have ever owned and it was less than half the price of the Honda I had.
I've been reading a lot of good things about this Champion. The wireless remote start seems a good feature too.
I've got twin Yamaha 2k generators, they'll run my 13.5 after I put an aftermarket capacitor on it. Without the cap, starting was hit and miss.
They may be okay, but, I'm sorry, not even in the same class as the Yamahas or Hondas. And you had to put aftermarket capacitor on it? Don't understand that one bit, but whatever. And the Champion just as quiet as the Honda? I don't think so. People may claim that; it's just not true. Maybe within a decibel or two? Maybe, but that is a big difference. Check out You Tube- lots of comparisons.
Sorry but I have owned both a Honda 3000 and a Champion 3100 and if I had to buy another one tomorrow I would buy another Champion 3100 without a second thought. Then I would take the remaining $1600 I would have spend on another Honda and take a month RV trip. Not knocking Honda it was a good generator also. It may be a hair quieter if any but for the price it is no comparison to the Champion. I had about 400 hours on the Honda before someone needed more than me but as of now I have 350 hours on the Champion with no issues what so ever.
