Is this a powerful enough Generator for me?
TT has a 13500btu air conditioner. This Westinghouse 2200 watt seems very reasonable priced at $480. Surge 2200 & runs 1800. Big selling pt is only 52dB It claims it can power a 135...

More bad news boss... Once you put oil and fuel in and run it, it is not returnable. You need more generator than this for your stated needs but please, for the sake of you camping neighbors... do not buy a Champion noisemaker. :S
As always... Opinions and YMMV.

Desert Captain, Champion makes very quiet inverter generators that are widely loved.
You must be thinking of Champion's open frame contractor-style generators.
Two different animals.
Yes, the open frame Champions are my definition of a noisemaker. Harbor freight sells lots of them to the folks who do not care about others, only their wallets. I have yet to find a "very quiet" generator of any type that wears the Champion badge. I'm not saying they don't exist, just that I have never encountered one.

Please show us where the big noise difference is.
The difference is your inability to compare apples to apples. Champion open frame generators, {as previously noted, my definition of a noisemaker} are about twice as loud as you have suggested. As I said, have yet to run across any Champion badged genny that was not obnoxiously loud. If they are now making quieter models good on them... it's about time.
