Install a MicroAir on your AC and get a Honda 2200i to run it.
The Brisk is brand new (I bought it as part of the parts for the camper restoration, it was $440, the smaller units were quite a bit more, also with the Jalousie windows and the snap-n-nap, the camper is going to be somewhat leaky air-wise, so I went with the 13500 to make sure we could compensate).

Carefully consider warranty and parts support when choosing a generator. IMO, Champion and Honda offer some of the best in the industry.
Harbor Freight's "warranty" looks good at first glance: free replacement for 90 days (or 1-2 yr, one-time free replacement for additional cost). However, after that you're completely on your own. HF offers zero/no repair capability (only total replacement under warranty) and very little to no parts availability.
Others require you to ship or transport the generator to their nearest repair facility hundreds/thousands of miles away. I'd venture to say many would simply settle for a paper-weight than deal with the cost/hassles of packing, insuring, shipping, and/or transporting a 50-100 lb. generator these kinds of distances.
Aye, that's part of why I was curious about the Onan branded unit, as there's actual Onan locations around. I usually use Champions (That's my current generator, which is an open cage Champion of similar capacity) but to my knowledge, there's not any local service places, I would likely have to do it myself.
