I get the noise thing, I do. But if you're camped where it's hot at night and there are other RVs, you will not have the only genny running an AC fired up.
Plus, you're leaving in a week and a half and what are your options?
1. Buy a new 2k genny and hope that it runs the AC.
2. Buy a bigger genny for even more money and where the F do you store it (uses more gas too).
3. Fill your propane bottles and bring an extra 1 or 2 (we all seem to have a couple bottles laying around, if not ask your neighbors, you can probably procure 1 or 2 easily). Or just go get them filled if you need to. Convenient excuse for a quick road soda away from the runts..
4. Add 200AH of LiFEpo4, more solar, DC-DC charger that you'll probably need to run that rattling powerstroke to recharge if you run the AC too long and don't have your $1000s of dollars of off grid gear all setup right and the weather gets too hot????
Seriously man, fill a couple bottles, go camping, exercise your generator. That's what it's for.
Absolutely, why are you overthinking this?:S
