To the OP: You have been given some advice on what people think you need. Do you have any questions? I have owned a dozen or more generators of many brands. The one thing they all have in common is that they were "Hauled a lot and used very little". I go where air conditioning is not needed or where I will have electric service. No way am I going to run an air conditioner, no matter the brand, to power an air conditioner day after day. Many campgrounds would not allow it, in the first place. The idea of hauling a generator and fuel inside an RV does not appeal to me. I get the concept of "living off the grid", but you may want to borrow/rent a generator and give it a try before making the plunge. Think Solar.
while we camp of grid quite often, we seldom need the AC. However, when we need/want it, having it on takes the trailer and trip from unbearable to comfortable. Usually I'm covered with solar for everything but AC. But if the weather is looking warm I won't leave home without enough generator and fuel to run the AC if needed. Now we do have a pickup, so hauling the generator and fuel means putting it in the pickup bed, not in the trailer.
