Keep in mind it also depends on where you will be using it, engines loose power at altitude, so if you will plan on using air conditioning at high elevations you need a larger one. My Onan 4,000 will power my air conditioner and microwave oven at the same time with no problem here in Louisiana, but when I tried running them both at 7,000+ ft elevations last August in Wyoming the engine would bog down.
Never thought of the elevation factor. We generally boondock on an island in the middle of the Mississippi in June. That is were we would be using it. We all know what teh best generator is. It is a Honda why buy anything else?
