Generator questions!
We are looking at buying either a 3000W Honda inverter generator, or the 3000W Predator brand inverter from Harbor Freight. Will be using these to intermittently charge 2X 6V Trojan golf cart battery...

I would skip the generator and get 200 to 400 watts solar.
I doubt you will need air April/May but if you do get some hookups.
Was rather warm last month at Glacier. We were seeing 90+ and plugged in. Locals were saying it was the most heat ever. But you will be there early.
If you get a generator you also need to get a new converter such as the PD9260-14.8
WFCO is a trickle charge at 13.6 volts unless you are one of the lucky few where it actually works in boost mode.

We have solar and can run everything but AC and MW on it. We have an eu2000 Honda for backup, but have not had to use it since installing solar and have camped in late fall using the heater, etc., but we also supplement heat with a Mr. Heater Big Buddy. Everyone's right about not needing AC at that time of year, but other times at that elevation you will. We dry camped at 5600 elevation over the Labor Day weekend and it was hot. Hot enough that we will be purchasing an extra eu2000 to connect with our first in order to run AC when needed. If you're going to purchase anything for your RV, plan it to address future (possible) needs.
