The OP's reasons for considering a larger generator seemed to be partially driven by a desire for a compressor refrigerator.
I wonder how many more of us would be completely happy with our absorption RV refrigerators if either RV builders, or absorption refrig manufacturers, provided: Either self-leveling refrigerator mounts ... or self-leveling internal absorption mechanism leveling??
Well I certainly don't think a compressor type fridge would be justification for a bigger generator as compressor fridges use considerably less power than an absorption fridge. The only plus of an absorption fridge is their ability to run on propane. Now a days with solar panels and inverters being so cheap I don't really even think thats an advantage any more. I can't imagine ever going back to an absorption type fridge. Compressor type fridges work work fine in dry camping situations as long as they are properly installed with adequate solar and inverter capacity.
