Running a single AC unit reliably will generally require a 3000 watt or higher generator. Some have reported success using a 2000 watt genny, although powering an AC unit at higher elevations will usually cause an overload condition for these smaller units. Last thing you want when everybody is hot and looking for relief is your generator to be under-sized.
A 3000 watt unit can be too heavy or too large to store, a popular option is to get a pair of smaller 2000 watt units and run them in parallel to get nearly 4000 watts of available power. When AC usage is not anticipated on a particular trip they just bring a single unit, which can power he majority of items onboard including most microwave ovens.
