doesn't make much sense IMHO to have a small genny running at near 100% capacity for AC only when you can buy the predator 3500 for not much more money.
The 3500 runs my 13.5 AC at less than 50% capacity it is quieter, will last longer, and there is available capacity to use other electronics.
Because your 3500 uses more gasoline at light loads than a 2000 generator uses at heavy loads. When my compressor is not running, I'm sipping fuel, gallon of gas will last me 12+ hours. With compressor running, I'll go through a gallon in 3.5 hours.
Besides, my wife can lift and move the small generator, I'm not sure I would try and move a 3500 on my own.
