What generator size works best?

3,500 run/4,000 watt surge will give you the equivalent of the 30 amp service which is what your trailer is wired for.

12kw diesel generator
Same power as 50 amp shore power

Might get by with 5000w
Get a pair of 3kw Honda or champion inverter generators

I don't know what kind of rig you have.. not sure how you ended up with an All electric unit and no generator. Is this a 50a coach with an inverter?

I had a champion 3100 watt and it worked good on my old TT which was a KZ Sportsman with the window AC type set up. I got rid of the champion cause I felt it would not run this TT.

Depends on how much you try to run at one time.

If the 5000 watt is 120/240, you may only have 2500 watts or so available to the 120 volt plug feeding the trailer.

I understand the Champion 3100 works pretty well. But, I don't have one.

I hope that beach is at the ocean so the waves will drown out the racket of a 5kw generator.

Hi,

See how you manage on a 15 amp shore power. If that is not enough then try a 30 amp-shore power.

How big is the battery bank and how many watts is the inverter?
