Generator to run my RV's AC - what do I need?
I feel like this question must have been asked a million times, but I'm a newbie and can't seem to find the answer. I have a new Wildwood X-Lite 26' trailer, and I was hoping to run the AC off a Honda...

All right, I finally found the specs on the a/c unit. 13,500 BTU and 115V?

So looking at Amazon, I see two beefy generators, both 1/3 of the price of the honda. I'm sure they're not nearly as quiet, but I'll only end up using them 3-4 times a year most likely, so dropping another $1200 doesn't make much sense.
The Duromax 4400E:

Both around the same price, and if I'm reading things correctly, both would allow me to just plug the RV power cable straight into it, with no adaptor? Please let me know if anyone can think of a reason that wouldn't work!
We're running a small music stage with lighting next to the trailer, so I can always use the Honda generator for that, and save the beefy one to run the RV AC at nights (texas trip.)
Thanks again to those of you who took the time to impart your wisdom. :)
