So you don't want to shut off the AC for a few minutes when you are using the microwave? You could save some big $$.

I tried that with a previous TC. Would not run the AC.

My twin 2ks Hondas will do that, but they're working very hard so I limit it to about 30 seconds.

Trying to run them both will give you a new appreciation of Grand Coulee Dam.

These previous discussions may be of value:

What size gen do i need? 2011
What size.. 2013
Which gen.. 12/2013

I had a Robin Subaru 4300is genset on a rear platform. It produced full power equivalent to a 30 amp pedestal

Yeah, I don't think my Yamaha ef3000iseb will run both. The dual parallel linked generators will and the Hondas can be set up to run off of a larger fuel tank. Or you are looking at a 4000 watt generator. Will you need the thing to be quiet? If noise isn't an issue, a 4000 watt or bigger construction style generator will do the trick.

2 Honda 2000's (or similar) in parallel should do the trick. I have a Honda eu3000 and it will run the AC or the microwave but doesn't like both at the same time.
