Should I upgrade to 2000w in parallel or single 3100w ?
I just "upgraded" from my old motorhome to a Jayco Jay Flight. Unfortunately it has the 15k A/C upgrade which immediately trips the breaker on my 2000w Champion inverter.
With the motorhome I could run the 13.5k A/C, but this bigger one looks like it will be impossible even with a hard start capacitor installed based on the inrush and continuous current numbers.
My first instinct is to sell the 2000 watt and buy this:

It is slightly cheaper to just buy another refurb 2000W and the parallel kit, but it seems like a lot more effort to lug 2 generators. Is there a hidden bonus to 2 generators I'm not seeing?
