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

When choosing a generator for AC. the first thing to determine is what degree of reliability do you need?
IOW, if it is hotter than you think it will be, and the generator won't run your AC.... Just how big of a deal is it to you?
I used to compete my Brittanys in AKC field trials I got to see a lot of these kinds of failures.....Numerous times it would be really hot and other peoples generators could not cut it in "real" life situations. They always said the same thing."It worked fine at home"
Add some altitude and heat, and a marginal generator will let you down. A casual camper would likely just go home. A field trial competiter pretty much has too much to lose by going home. I saw a lot of emergency generator upgrades in camp.
