Use case is critical.
- If you are just charging the batteries, making some coffee or watching some TV, your little 1500w is a great option.
- Once you want to run the air/con, something in the 3000w or better is my recommendation.
Yes, you can dink around and make a smaller generator work but it's hit and miss. We have a 2400w Yamaha and there are times, it struggles to get the air/con to start up.
The other issue with propane is the engines generally put out less power when on propane. So a 2400w generator may only be good for 2000w on propane.
