I use a 3000 Honda with remote start. It's bolted into the truck bed and has a ventilated metal enclosure. It works good and is still pretty efficient when on eco mode and running my converter or battery charger.
As others said, the 3000 is heavy and I consider it a bolt in model. I would never consider moving it around. If you want to pack them away when you are done go with 2000's. One 2000 can be used if you want to charge or run smaller 120 v loads.
I have a 3000Watt Honda which will run that AC just fine. If I had to do it over again, I'd get two 2000 watt generators and run them in parallel. The 3000 is too heavy to lift by myself.
