We do dog agility and herding events. As newbies 14 years ago, got the Honda 3000 to run the A/C in case the dogs over-heated. Never needed that. In fact at these events they have a dog water pool to toss them in if they over-heat. Works way better!
Then it is just a matter of RVing for a few days with or without shore power. Various folks show up in various RVs who have a clue or not about batteries. Some who do not need help getting their batteries recharged half way through. They soon learn. You will too.
The good news it is not rocket science. If you have a Honda 2000 you should be good for most things, and won't need air conditioning if you have a fan or two. If you want A/C the gen will run out of gas anyway before you finish needing A/C if it is that bad.
If you are in Death Valley with the dogs in August, that might be different. :)
