We've been dry camping a lot more and our poor old generator has seen the last of it's days. It was one we had before we bought our TT and it would recharge the batteries, but wouldn't run the AC.
Now that we need to buy a new generator we'd like to buy one that runs our 13,500 BTU air conditioning but we're uncertain what level of generator we need to do that. Anyone have any recommendations?
Honda 2000 ($999) and Microair Easystart on the AC ($318). Paired with a 2000W inverter and 2 T105 batteries that will run your microwave for a bag of popcorn without starting the generator.

Champion 3100 inverter generator. Read the reviews on here, it has become one of the best on the market and will easily pull your 13,500 btu air-conditioner. We ran our 15,000 btu AC at 7,000 ft and no issues what so ever. Best inverter generator I have ever owned and it was less than half the price of the Honda I had.
I've been reading a lot of good things about this Champion. The wireless remote start seems a good feature too.
I've got twin Yamaha 2k generators, they'll run my 13.5 after I put an aftermarket capacitor on it. Without the cap, starting was hit and miss.
They may be okay, but, I'm sorry, not even in the same class as the Yamahas or Hondas. And you had to put aftermarket capacitor on it? Don't understand that one bit, but whatever. And the Champion just as quiet as the Honda? I don't think so. People may claim that; it's just not true. Maybe within a decibel or two? Maybe, but that is a big difference. Check out You Tube- lots of comparisons.

We are in need of a generator for our TT and are torn between the 2 Honda 2000 inverters and the Champion 3400 inverter. The Champion is much cheaper but we are worried about it being too loud for infield camping at race tracks. Does anyone have experience with using the Champion at race tracks where your neighbor is very close? We would need to run it all night as my wife needs a fan to sleep as well as the AC in the summer. Our TT has 2 AC's equal to 15000. We would need enough to at least run one of them.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
