AC size and generator size - advice please

I am in the process of a major transition of my RV lifestyle.
I will be buying an Arctic Fox 29Y. Wife insists that we have a generator to run the AC. We often camp in forest service/state park/boondock where no electricity is available. We also do camp in RV parks with full hookups.
Standard is a 13.5k BTU AC. Optional is a 15K.
I am strongly leaning toward the Champion 3400-Watt Dual Fuel RV Ready Portable Inverter Generator with Electric Start, largely for the ability to run on propane. I have figured out a way to transport it/store it, and move it around.
I will also install a Supco SPP6, Relay Start Capacitor 120-288V to assure the starting of the AC.

Will this generator and capacitor run the 15K? or should I stick with the 13.5k?

The trailer is total 30' long. Is there much of a difference inside between the 13.5k and the 15k? It seems like such a small difference, 13.5 to 15, that the coolness difference would be noticeably felt inside. What am I missing?

Finally. I am unfamiliar with the capacitor thingy. Where does that install? At the AC? Is it difficult?

Any comments/advice will be much appreciated!!!

FYI....moving FROM FW TH with 5.5k generator on board.

i bought the champion 3400 dual fuel last summer. i have been very happy with it. my ac is 13.5k not the 15k. it ran the ac, tv, dvd player with no problems. love the electric start. its portable enough that i use it at home/garage area as much as with camper. my garage isn't wired for electricity so the champion is great to run power tools, air compressor, etc. for the cost versus honda for me is a no brainer. it also runs fairly quite. nothing like a construction site type generator.
