If it's a window A/C, a 2800 or 3000 can easily run both. Good catch.

I survived them quite well when I was a youngster, hiking the backcountry, riding a motorcycle cross country and sleeping in a tent, or under the stars.

Now I'm old and need a more friendly environment.

Some people enjoy primitive camping, I don't. I love the redwood forests, but if I want to take a nap, sometimes A/C is nice. No need to disturb the wildlife with my snoring by napping outside.

Rent one and check first.

So if I only wanted to run my AC and fridge would something like the Yamaha EF2600 work. It's 2600 watts and 21.6 amps.

What makes two best are the two carburetors, two recoil starters, and the two oil changes. Double the pleasure.

I disagree Wrench. There are some definite benefits to the dual portable generators. I had a pair of yamahas for awhile. I am now back to a Yamaha ef3000iseb. It's noticeably quieter, has a slightly longer run time (The Yamaha ef2000 can't be run off of a separate gas tank), and I maintain only one machine. It sucks to move the 150 pound thing but as a whole, the single generator is best for me.

The best is 2 2k or better units,if you have to move it.I use 2 Hondas and at 8k altitude .they earn their keep

Who cares about the OP? They just gave us the opportunity to share our prejudices and preferences, brag about what we have, and knock whatever anyone else has.

TomM is correct, there is no quiet generator though some are much more quiet than others.

RVing is not camping, when I sit in my TT listening to the morning news while my coffee warms in the microwave, it is a fact cry from sipping coffee in front of my tent, from a thermos, that I brewed the night before after a half days canoe paddle in the North Country.

Everyone's camping style is different, boondockers have perhaps managed to capture the best of both.

TT campgrounds do not lend themselves to the peace and solitude some folks seek but will say I enjoy both my RV and canoe camping adventurers.

Now back too the OPs question, it appears he will need the aforementioned 3500 watts.
