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

Problem with a 2200W vs a 3500W is the 2200W will be wound out making gobs of noise while the 3500w will barely break idle running a 13,500ac.
I have both and much prefer the 3500w for running the AC and other stuff at the same time.
Yep, recently replaced our Yamaha 2400w (upper class brand similar to Honda) with a Champion 4500w with much worse dB rating.
I was playing around before I sold the Yamaha and running the air/con, the Champion was noticeably quieter as it never came off idle while the Yamaha was easily at half throttle.
Ditto for me. My Champion 4500/3500 runs much quieter than my Ryobi 2000/1600 with the same load, even though the gap is about 4 dBa between them.
The Champion is over 40lbs heavier at about 100 lbs full of gas but is still manageable for this old f-- t. It is my choice for the road.
