Going to Yellowstone, generally, you won't need to use the air conditioner so 2,000 watts should be plenty to run your television, coffee pot and microwave. We have used a Honda 2000 for a number of years and finally jumped up to buy a second one to parallel for when we want ac. We have almost exclusively dry camped with no hookups since we bought our first FW in 1993. We went with the second Honda because we plan on traveling with our FW more in the future and will probably need to run the ac at times if we are not at a FHU campground. Don't worry about people talking about using too much gas, you paid a heck of a lot more for the FW than the gas, and driving a tow vehicle uses a bunch more gas. IF you want a generator, go ahead and buy one, eventually you will find uses for it.
