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.

The OP asked, "What generator size works best?"
My opinion is one that requires the least effort and provides the service required. I am a hobbyist who enjoys hooking up parallel cables to prove it can be done, once. I also have turned off appliances and devices to "get by" with a small generator. I no longer enjoy fueling and maintaining two generators when one will do the job. I have all the cobbled up adapters and connectors, but really enjoy having a RV outlet built in. I now use a generator that provides the same amperage as most campgrounds, that being 3,500 watts. Cost? $319.00 Quiet? No, but my campground has 30 amp electrical service so that I don't need to run it near others. Compared to the trucks, boom boxes, and loud mufflers in the average parking lot, it is silent.
