Our genny didn't work that weekend (split fuel line) so fortunately the RV park owners let us park near a building where we could run an extension cord over. But we would have been in the RV nearly the whole weekend and running the AC, which means running the generator.
Except the Orginal Poster "RedLionCookie" is in Dallastown, PA and the Red Lions are a Red Lion PA (a few miles to the east) High school Football team and that weekend they were playing in Hanover PA (40 miles away) where the weather was in the low 70's during the day and mid-50's overnight.
Oh, and the OP specifically stated it was a 2000 watt Champion genset, so it *might* have a running output of 1,600 (?) watts, I doubt that ran an A/C for very long, a few seconds maybe.
