Generator Size for my 28BHBE

I have a small 1800 Watt generator to run the basics on my 28BHBE, what size would I need to run all of the options including AC/heat thanks.

Full 30 amp service = 3600 watt or higher continous running amps. 50 amp service, 6000 watt genny.

I use a 3100 watt genny with no issues.

I use a Harbor Freight Predator 3500. Runs one AC unit and everything else no problem. If not planning on the AC, I carry a Honda 2000.

We also run the Harbor Freight Predator 3500 and it is a great unit providing the power we need, especially for the money spent. It powers EVERYTHING in our trailer and it is very quiet. I'm sure my camping neighbors appreciate that fact.

I use a 4000 watt champion and it is more than enough.. Most of the time we get by with our solar setup unless we need AC....
