But you'll need 2..so figure on what, $1200-2200 and double the noise and fuel usage, double the storage.

just to run run a/c.

the extra power would be handy at home during a power outage perhaps.

Sure the extra versatility would be nice,but i figure it's rare i'll use one genset let alone the two. So the lowest cost option was the most, well, effecient for me.

Adn costco has a generous return policy.

Supergen, an authorized Champion reseller, also has this refurbished for $599 with free shipping. It has 3100 watts peak, 2800 watts continuous. This model also has GFCI, so the ground is already neutral bonded, so it shouldn't have an issue with an RV EMS.

It will start most 13,500 BTU A/C's and might even start some 15,000 BTU A/C's.

It's just a little bit noisier than a Honda or Yamaha (58dBA at 23'), but since it's less than half the price of a Yamaha, it might be worth the savings.

They have also have the same model at Costco on sale right now for $699. It's more than the refurbished, but then you get the full factory warranty, or Costco's fantastic return policy.

I just got one of those from Costco online. I haven't had a chance to camp with it yet, but it's super quiet (compared to my Honda EM5000) household genny.
$699 brand new, free shipping.

I've had a powerhouse 3100 for 3 years and have put over 500 hours on it. It ran great the first two years but last year was a rough one. Had to clean rust from the fuel filter, still ran rough. Had something clog the fuel shut off on a trip and had to bypass it, ran good for awhile after that. Then the last trip of the year it just wouldn't pull a load. Idle and run fine until you flipped the breaker on. I put sea foam in the tank in the off season and tried to drain most of the fuel. When it ran good I was very happy, but this last season was not good. We had a keystone cougar 29RBK and the gen. Would power the entire trailer until the ms. Used her curling iron with the ac on. Not sure what the lifespan of a generator is but this one is over 500 hrs. We've bought a new 5th with, amp and fit the bullet and purchased the newest Honda EU7000. With the Honda quality, its reputation, and fuel injection I'm looking forward to trouble free usage, knock, knock...... We camp at motorcycle rallies that are nearly always dry camping so our generator gets a lot of use.
Good luck.
