Do you have dual AC on your TC to need 4200 Watts?
Not likely smart TC owner would buy one, but I would post in TT and ClassA sections.
Also check Costco. Traveling via few states and provinces, I have seen quite a selection of generators at Costco.
Some of them dual-fuel, what is the way to go if you want generator for TC and also back up for your home.
The bulk majority of standard RV A/Cs will not start on a 2000 watt generator without tapping it out to the max, leaving little extra power. Alot of folks here, just buy two 2000 watt generators and team them together.
The running wattage is 3700 watts, which is a basic 30 amp service. 4500 watts is peak/surge, not a sustainable load rating.
In the case of my unit's A/C, which is a Duo Therm Brisk Air II 13500 BTU Rated unit, the recommend generator rating is 3.5kw.
