Why do you need to run both at the same time? I agree with Fireball that 3,000 may not do it and with 2oldman saying not for long with his two 2,000 watt Hondas. Seems....wasteful to buy a generator to do both for a few minutes each day max.
For the most part I agree. Running A/C and micro together is not the ideal criteria to base your buying decision on.
Nevertheless I used to in my TT and still do in my current 5'er use my genset for lunch breaks. On a hot summer day their is a dire need to run A/C while warming up lunch in the microwave. My Subaru 4300is could do it. And my current built in Onan can do it.
Making lunch in the RV on a hot day is a nice option to have.
