We bought a Honda EU3000 and it would not start our AC. Standard ducted 13,500 AC on a Cherokee LQ trailer. So the dealer let us bring it back and we swapped it for a Yamaha 4500. We carry it in the 1st stall on trailer and roll it down a ramp. Yes its big and heavy but super quiet and will run everything at once. It has an hour and wattage meter on it. My opinion the Yamaha is better made. So if you buy something be sure you can bring it back if it wont work. Or better yet, take your trailer and try it at the dealership first. I would hate to be stuck with a $2000 generator that wouldnt do the job.
and, we also have a Champion we were using. They are exceptionally quiet for what they are, but not as much as an inverter style. Also consider that you really need the inverter type clean sine wave to safely power the electronics in your LQ trailer, charge cell phones and laptaps, etc.
