Default Trailer / Generator Question ??

I'm looking for a decent generator for my trailer. Any of you out there have recommendations on what size/wattage I should look for?

Trailer is a 38 ft., a/c, fridge, shower, T.V., LQ's, air compressor, interior and exterior lights, etc.

PM me with any input

Thanks,
Kev

I have a 5500 in mine. A/C, air compressor, inside/outside lights, computer station, small frig. I have never had a problem running battery charger, with the other stuff. I've used coleman in the past and most name brand should be fine. Can't remember what make my new one is, sorry. With all your stuff, you might want to go 7500+. Hot water?? I added up all my stuff, added a little extra to be safe, than I knew what size to get. Good luck.

Oh yea don't forget, we are not supposed to blow exhaust on neighbor, I ran a pipe instead of the stock muffler.

Your going to want to be in the 7500+ range. Onan makes quietest/fuel efficent generators out there.
