Generator Help - need to buy in next week...
So - we aren't too savvy with understanding how to measure what kind of generator power we need to get when we buy one within the next week. We know it will be an investment. Here are the details:...

I'm wondering about either a set of 2000 watt generators, or perhaps something larger that can handle the power loss at higher altitudes.
It depends on what you want. A single Honda 6500 watt inverter model has the same noise rating as the 2000 watt models, but would easily cover any need you have (especially the inrush current from the A/C), even with 30%+ power loss. Three Honda eu2000i models with a Wise Sales generator parallel kit can get you 4500 watts or so as well, good enough even with the power derating.
The smaller Hondas, you can buy the LowPro Lockdown kit to bolt them to a fixed surface so they stay put, and are more portable. The larger one has remote start, and is fairly fuel efficient.
