Generators..What to Purchase
We know nothing about generators but are doing some research. Need to purchase one for emergency use and to use for beach camping. How big do we need to go to run a 15K AC and a few misc. items???

We camp at the beach right now. Me and next neighbor have Honda EU3000.
On the other side, 3 sites away a guy is running open frame generator.
When all 3 are running, standing close to Hondas, I hear the open frame.
Honda are quiet when you just charge the battery. Once you start AC, you can hear it, but there is difference between hearing it and have it annoying.
Than we have great topics about Predator gen sets. Would I not bought the Honda 15 years ago for $900, I would be tempted to buy cheap.
Power-wise, 3000W generator will run AC and charge batteries at the same time, but for using oven or coffeemaker you have to shut down AC
