In Arizona in the summer time it's not unusual for temps to stay at 90 or 100 all night. The Honda & Yamaha 3000 generators have large enough fuel tanks to run for 8 or 9 hours under load. The 2000 size don't, you'd likely get 2-3 hours out of a full tank. You can get extended run fuel tanks for them, but that seems like a lot of extra work and stuff to haul around.
Might take three trips to set up the 2x Honda + extended tank.
Might take three people to move a 3000w with electric start.
