What generator size works best?
My set up is ALL electric with 13,500 A/C. I am looking at a generator to run the TT while on the beach this summer. I was thinking 5,000 watts. Any input would be appreciated.

I have a 2015 Grey Wolf 26bhe. The bhe stands for bunk house electric.
I opted for this type of trailer for a couple of reasons.
1. It sat on the lot for several months, which was a great negotiating tool when i purchased. Evidently people don't want all electric.
2. Being all electric I do not have propane to mess with or wonder if I will run out. We rarely used the propane on our last 2 tt. DW makes breakfast on an electric griddle. For lunch/dinner I'll make something on the BBQ pit or we use the griddle. We also have a hot plate if needed and only used it to make my brother instant coffee once. I drink the real stuff.
It has an electric heat strip that takes the chill out and we use an electric heater if needed.
And the WH is both electric/gas with ONLY the electric connected.
So ALL electric with no gas. Because of this I have a 50 amp connection. The reason I feel of need a generator around 5k watts.
I am completely satisfied with my purchase with the exception of the bathroom. It is a little small. That has nothing to do with being all electric.
