A small in size generator to carry along in a class "C"?

I'm still debating between a class "C" or a "B", but one of the things I want to bring along is a small in size, inverter generator, even though the motorhome will have an Onan onboard. A few reasons...

Need to look at your converter/charger specs and see what the 120VAC AMPS is required to operate it.

My PD9260C requires right at 1000WATTs to operate it. I use my 2kW EU2000i Honda generator to run when we are off-grid. It revs up pretty high when just powering up the Converter/charger... This will get my batteries from their 50% charge state to their 90% charge state in about a three hour generator run time...

This is what works for me when off grid recharging my POPUP trailer battery bank each morning...
