Thanks for all the input.
Regarding the tech stuff, when I saw "inverter" in the specs, I thought it would be an AC (at the generator) to DC (at the inverter and out the port), converted back to AC (in the second genset). That would be the only way I could see to make sure the phases were "synced" - you're not trying to sync them at all, you're converting everything to DC, aggregating it, then converting the aggregate back to AC.
They just got the TT, so I don't think they are quite sure how they will be using it yet. It's a small one - ~18' if I recall correctly. They are older, which is why the dual genset option has appeal. A single genset mounted to the truck bed or tongue is a good idea, but it's also a theft magnet.
They also don't know how thirsty a genset will be running an AC, so once they find that out, they may change their needs.
LJAZ, why do you say the 3K if they want AC all night? Seems to me either option would do it, although the 3K would be more efficient and less noisy. Any other compelling reasons?
Thanks again!
