I figure I'd buy one that I can parallel so I can add a second if needed or desired. I don't want the weight of a 3000. Looking at a Westinghouse 2200/2500.

Thanks for all the input. I have a 13,500 AC unit. It seems that some people can run the AC from a 2000, some can't. I figure I'd buy one that I can parallel so I can add a second if needed or desired. I don't want the weight of a 3000. Looking at a Westinghouse 2200/2500.

Probably split phase 240v so only half power available at each 120v outlet.
I recommend a generator with a 30 amp 120v outlet for best power results.

We went down to Harbor Freight and picked up a 4000W generator on sale for $287. It only had 13A / 110VAC outlets. These would not run our air conditioner - the circuit breaker kept tripping on the genset.

New to using a generator and while shopping I did notice that some, not many, come with a 30 amp connector that my RV would connect to but most have the standard duplex receptacles. Do I just plug in the the 110 with an adaptor to run the AC? THANKS
