Generator appropriate for Jayco Swift 145
OMG, you guys - I'm making myself crazy! Hubby and I recently purchased a Swift 145, and are excitedly looking forward to this year's camping season. I'm researching "the right kind of generator for a small TT," and my head is spinning like a top. I don't really understand the magic that is electricity, and I don't know anything about generators. All I know is that I want a "gizmo" that makes stuff light up and GO when I push the buttons inside the TT. My biggest concern is the 5000 btu wall mounted a/c.
(As an aside, hubby is "engineer type" person and always handled this type is stuff. But he had a stroke a few years ago. He's doing great, all things considered, but he can no longer focus on this kind of research, so it falls to me.)
Sooo... Having said all that, can some kind person please please cut thru all the variables for me and tell me what, exactly, I should buy?
Parameters: the generator will be used to occasionally run the a/c (not very often, only on seriously hot humid nights). And to charge phones, iPads, wifi booster, etc. It should be as inoffensively quiet as possible. It should be easy to start, preferably with a remote starter. It should be as light weight as possible, as we'll have to heft it in & out of the pickup bed. And it should be basically idiot proof because, as stated earlier, the brain in the family had a stroke and that leaves... me. We have about $1k (preferably less) to spend.
Help? Anyone? Asking for a straight up BUY THIS recommendation. Thanks so much in advance.
