Generator Question?
How big of a generator do I need to run my 15K BTU air conditioner? Assuming I may also be running a coffee pot or microwave at the same time.

If the TT wasn't in the storage yard all wrapped for safe keeping for the winter I would go check it out. But I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts the breaker ain't more than 20 amps.
According to Champion a 3100i will handle a 13.5K and a 3400i will run a 15K A/C. So for those two models of generator, I would be tempted to follow the manufacturer's advice.
I think the 3100 may do it and turn off the AC before starting the microwave.
On paper, a 2800W could even work. I could be tempted to try that out.
