Generator options
I'm a fulltimer in an RV park, so I generally don't have to worry about power, but I also live in southern Florida and I'm told we will lose power quite often in the wake of a bad storm or hurricane. ...

Personally I don't see any of these options meeting the "No Hernia", or "small space" requirement, though most will meet the full power as if plugged in requirement.
I lived in Florida for 4 years and yes, power outages can happen after a large storm, but it was still not a real often experience. I only remember twice that a power outage was for a day or two. Granted I was in a sticks and bricks at the time, and we had a small 2700 watt generator, but we were the only ones in our cul-de-sac that even had that, and we only used it to keep the fridge running and to power some fans and to keep our portable electronics charged. We ran extension cords into our house and our two neighbors houses. Obviously we didn't run Air-conditioning, but I'm wondering if you are going to pay a lot of money and used space and headache for something you may barely use. If I was back in Florida and in your shoes I would probably just get a smaller generator that would be enough to run the larger of the two air-conditioners and settle for the short term inconvenience of not having full power. Even a few nights in a hotel outside of the black out zone would be cheaper in the long run.
Most logical solution, yet. :-)
