Well, there's no pretending the beloved Champ is a "quite" gennie, but it will do the job you want at a savings of $2,000 over a pair of Hondas. You decide!
+1 on the high altitude heat, and in Colorado there's just no telling if you're going to get humidity with it, at least in the spring.
Jim, I did the small window AC (600w, I think), and I liked it so much I 86'd the 13.5k from the roof.
Another option (which I've done also), get one of the grotesquely expensive maxxair "turbomaxx" fan+shrouds like this:

I stuck that on my bathroom vent and it draws enough air through the cabin to keep it cool when the air is comfortable, but the direct sun is baking your rig to 100 degrees.
Good luck!
