Pay an electrician to install a "generator switch" plug for your house that you flip on/off through the breaker panel and then buy a lager and cheaper regular generator that can power the whole home (depending on how many AC units and sizes etc). We have a 7800 watt firman and it powers the whole home and the central AC. .

If you're rich and want the best, honda 2kw inverter is the best of the best.
Not a viable solution for S La but good enough for our limited needs in Cenla

I love Hondas but the cheaper brands do great too and have come a long ways. Save money and buy other brands

Get the inverter if you can.

An inverter generator is a type of portable power generator that utilizes advanced technology to produce clean and stable electrical power. It combines the capabilities of a conventional generator with an inverter, resulting in several advantages over traditional generators.
Inverter generators work by the rectifier to convert the AC (alternating current) power produced by the generator into DC (direct current), and then use the inverter to invert it back into clean and stable AC power. This technology allows for a clean and stable electrical output, making them highly suitable for sensitive electronic devices such as laptops, smartphones, and cameras. Inverter generators are known for their efficiency, fuel economy, and low noise operation.

I bought this thing and it works like a charm. Knock off of a Honda. I back fed it through my panel. Super quiet. Doesn't use much gas. Starts up every time. I got my money's worth in the first day. Highly recommend, especially for the cost.
It runs what you state, plus a lot more, including a window AC unit.
$799 at Harbor Freight.

Ahh my mistake, the 2000 is what I have and I was throughly impressed with it and it will now be my camping generator. It’s pretty quiet too.

I have the small camping Honda 2000i generator. Runs large fridge, stand up freezer, 2 lamps with LED lights, satellite receiver and 60” flatscreen.
Use it if electricity stays off a 4 hours or so. Have a large generator if we need to put a couple of window units in and run them.

Have a caterpillar 6500 k. It can run sensitive electronics and appliances without harm. About a grand

I thought about the Predator 3500, but it's pretty big and heavy. My trailer is so small that the 2000 will be more than enough. Even the AC only pulls 500-600 watts in the heat of the day. The only other things in there are a 12V TV, 12V Truma fridge, and some LED lights.
