So would I be better to use 2-2000w generators or a single 3000w. The 3000w seem to have a larger tank but maybe not once you add the 2 together. The other one I looked at was the yamaha 3000iseb which clais 3500 starting watts. I have found quite a few leftover 2013 units and it looks as though I can buy the 3000 watt ones for about same price as 2-2000 watt generators and pairing cables. Don't know which to use.
Keep in mind I may never use these for the RV but would like to run my enclosed trailer and household essentials in case of outage. Primary use is enclosed trailer running 1500w heater CPAP 90w, phone charger,GoPro charger, battery charger for GPS, and charge the deep cycle battery for the trailer interior lights.
Also can these generators be used for 120v output and 12v charging at the same time?

. . . I found out I can run my AC on an 82 degree day off of the 15 amp plug that I have on the side of my house. I have only tried this once just to see if it had the soft start capacitor or not. I assume that it must if it started and ran without tripping breaker. During this test I also realized that the refrigerator in the RV was also running on electric at the same time. Anyway that is why I assume that the Yamaha 2400 would run the AC if it doesn't trip out a 15 amp breaker on the house . . .

Sorry my fault for not clarifying before. Space heater would only be run in enclosed trailer along with charging the deep cycle battery and my CPAP machine at night. That's why I don't think a 2000w, 1600w continuous can handle that. Think I would need at least the Yamaha 2400. The more I think about it I may be better to just step up to a 3000w, 2800w continuous and let the engine run at lower speeds. Engine life would likely be longer that way.
