Generators are in VA not watts. Take the rating in watts that you wish to run. Multiply by 1.25 and then get the next biggest size of generator.
My parasitic loads on the RV amount to about 20 watts. It is 8 am and the solar system is producing 85 watts. That's a nice trickle charge to the battery bank. I expect to harvest over 1000 watt-hours today from 256 watts of panels.
