Air conditioning and generator
I have a 2016 Lance model 1985 with a Coleman air conditioner. I am wondering what the btu’s are? I have a champion generator. It puts out 3500 watts running 4000 start up. How big of an air ...

I have the same generator (Champion 3500/4000) that I use when power is off at the stick house and I need to power essentials such as the basement sump pumps or the chest freezer until line power is restored.
In the past, I’ve exercised the Champion by hooking the shore power cord from the motorhome to the 30-amp plug on the Champion and turning on the A/C. I’ve been able to power both (2) roof A/Cs with no other loads on the Champion. I started the A/Cs one at a time.
I’ve not tried powering anything more at the same time, as I never plan to use the Champion camping (since I have a built-in generator, plus a Yamaha 1000-watt that I use for charging batteries off-grid.)
I'm confident that you will have no problem running the A/C and a few other things concurrently with the 3500/4000.
