Hello,

One is a 50 amp with two A/C's
Two with 30 amp and one A/C
What size generator would we need? I'm not an electrician and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but if the normal size Gen in most RV's is 4000 watts, wouldn't a 15,000 watt Gen cover them all? Again not an electrician, so I'm sure there are some complicated calculations to figure this out.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
Find out the BTU's on all the AC units for us and get back to us. Will they also be running the microwave ovens at the same time as the AC's? That's another consideration. If you have to go that big, consider looking into a diesel generator instead of gas. Think red dye diesel, since this is off road use only, for operating expenses.
