I'm doing a NM Elk hunt in October, that is as far as I want to go and it will be cold, we will be at 8K feet.
While I agree with your not wanting an AC or any part of the desert or hot climates,I have a different take on generators, living in the mountains of Idaho.We are also are many miles(85) away from a Costco or Walmart or any chain store with one dealer in town for chainsaws mostly but he also carries the Honda line...One stop light in our town!
Therefor I get my stuff from him and it does help, his son is one of my sons best buddies and on the Fire department..So I own two Honda generators a 2K and a 3K plus a 4K Generac and a 2-stroke..Just sold my attached Onan...
There is an old saying in the hunting world to use enough gun and that saying should, but does not, carry over into generators meaning why try to make a 2K generator do a 3K generators work, just like why take a .243 on a once in a lifetime Elk hunt...It will work if everything is right but Elk hunting does not give everything is just right shots all the time.
I live to Elk hunt and one reason I live where I do..September bugling is by far my favorite time of the year more fun than killin' them because that is work..We even had a big bull chase my wife out of the woods and she was wearing Muck-lucks(sp)..
So if I think I need AC I will throw in my little 5K window unit that my little Honda just purrs in eco-mode with.
