Towing with gen running??

I have read some of you will start the generator an hour before arriving at destinations. Here is my dilemma;

I am pulling the Fusion to Lake Havasu City AZ after work tomorrow. It will be 121 degrees when I get there!! I plan to run the A/C all night tonight and tomorrow plugged into the pedestal at home but the trip is 3.25 hours and the ONLY chance I have for sleeping comfortably Wednesday night is if I run the gen and both A/Cs for the trip on the road.

What do you think?? Am I alright running down the hiway for 3 hours with genny and A/Cs running?? Or should I plan to sleep on an air mattress in the lake!!!
  • go for the air mattress in the lake..........i think it would be much for fun! and heck ya never know what might happen....;~)
  • I haven't gone as long as you but I have started doing the same. I dont know that you will be able to run both AC's though. I typically fire up the one in the bedroom as it is most critical. No issues.
  • We generally travel in our MH with the Generator and one ac running.
