Generator sizing issues?
I have a 2017 Jayco 273 Toy Hauler (30 amp) with a single 13,500 BTU AC (according to their website). It has gas/electric water heater and fridge, micro, 2 (TV's), digital antenna, stereo and LED lig...

I never run micro with AC on. Maybe the AC/TV/Water pump/refrig/Lights and some iPhones charging. It may run for 3 hours fine and with no load changes, and then it just pops the breaker. I agree the generator is cheap. Also, yes the power cord was not a 30 amp, so I need to get the appropriate cord. But that does not account for why a 3500 watt generator is popping the breaker randomly.
I have no issue upping the size, but will the 4370/3500 be enough? That is only 300 more watts running than the one I have. The 6500/5500 is only $89 more, but it weights another 50lbs and is probably a little louder.
Is there anyway to test the generator? Do dealer have a watt meter to measure my actual usage?
