What size generator to run AC??
Looking at buying a +/-28 foot travel trailer, with one AC unit. What size generator should I have to run the AC and lights, TV, etc? Thanks

Keep in mind, if you go with the 2000-2200w units, it's going to be running full throttle all the time...the noise estimates are typically based on 25% load. Result expect it to sound like a lawnmower engine.
By going to a bigger generator, it may be quieter even if it isn't rated as quiet as the smaller unit.
You really want something 3000w or higher (more expensive and more maintenance but combining a pair of 2000w generators is also viable)
I agree bigger is better for this application, but if a 2k sounds like a lawnmower, you cheaped out on the purchase.
