Portable Generator Solutions

To answer your question, yes.

There are times down here in Virginia, and Atlanta, GA around Labor Day weekend when running the AC 24/7 is almost required, especially so in Atlanta. Being in Ontario, you probably don't know what it's like to be in 95 degree heat and humidity in the 60's plus.

I like many other southerners follow college football. In early September, it can still be very hot and very humid. That's why I carry 2 Honda EU2000i generators and the extended run tank, and several 2.5 gallon cans of gas.

If I only camped where it was cool, I'd only need one 2k Honda or Honda equivalent to just keep the batteries topped off.

Just as an aside from the debate over good generator / bad generator do you really want to be running any genset constantly 12, 14, 16 hours a day or more just for the purpose of having a comfortable interior? Are you willing to haul along sufficient fuel to do this and if so are you willing to refuel the small tank constantly? If not, then a larger extended run tank is preferable but in that case you'd want a genset with a fuel pump, not one that relies solely on gravity feed. Alternately you could buy a propane fueled genset but are you prepared for the degradation in performance? Is a smaller inverter genset that has to run well above it's quietest ECO speed when powering your A/C acceptable or are you willing to spend much more for a much larger genset that can run at a lower speed even under significant load? Aside from brand that pundits would argue over ad nauseam these are just some of the more important questions you want to be asking yourself if you want to buy the right genset for your needs. ;)
