How to Determine Generator Needed for Two RV Air Conditioners
Updated 04/21/2020 | Published 04/20/2020 >
Question:
I would like to purchase a generator I having RV that has a 15000 and a 13500 . AC units can you let me know what size generator I need to power up with no problems

Expert Reply:
The right generator depends on the starting and running watts of your two air conditioners, and if they have a start capacitor. For a 13,500 btu and 15,000 btu AC you are very likely to be looking at less than 4,000 running watts but you will also need extra capacity for other appliances.
Due to that I recommend the 7,000-Watt Champion Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit # CH49FR.
This will give you extra room for power so you can use something other than just your AC.
