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.

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.
You can see the downside to all electric when you're not hooked up. You've not yet mentioned about batteries and inverter, so I'm still in the dark on that. Dry camping is real nice having an inverter...the job for the generator is mainly battery charging.
Any 5kw generator I'm aware of is noisy as all get out, so, as suggested earlier, I'd go with a 3kw Honda. If you're made of money get two and parallel them.
I don't know what's connected on the 2nd leg of your 50a service. That's usually another air. An electric stove and oven are really going to consume power.
