What Generators are you using?
I recently sold my Honda EU3000, mainly because it was heavy as a sack of lead. I am a Honda fan and have owned many of their product's over the years. However I am looking at the Powerhorse at Northern tool because I will probably only be using these a couple times a year. Does anyone have any experience with these? Particularity running in tandem, I was hoping that they could handle one A/C unit along with simple stuff such as lights and phone chargers. I understand that a 2nd A/C, Microwave, Hairdryer ect would be a problem.

I had a Honda EU 3000i that I used in my previous Reflection, you're right its to heavy to load/unload by yourself. I traded it almost even for 2 new Honda 2200 inverter ones. When run in parallel they run 1 15K a/c and everything else just fine. I have the onboard Onan so these are just backup and to play around with etc. The little ones are super quiet and bullet proof.

Triple Honda 2000. Also have the Onan 5.5 but run the Hondas for 6000 watts most of the time. The Hondas use less gas and I can run 1, 2, or 3 as needed during the day. Also have the hondas hooked to the RV fuel station so I don't have to refill fuel.

Currently using (1) Champion 3500W inverter generator. Considering down sizing to (2) 2000W Honda inverter generator in parallel as needed

I've been really happy with my Predator 3500W unit. Its light enough for me to lift myself and runs everything I need. Have more hours running in sub zero weather than summer camping. The thing just purred right along in -27F for 12 hrs plus before I considered refueling. Been a solid unit.

I have an eu7000. It's overkill, but that's just how I do most things.

Briggs 4500, will run 1 AC and elec water heater plus whatever we have going inside camper (probably not microwave without shedding load). Very quiet and manageable to load in back of truck.
Could probably run both AC on my open frame 7000 "real" generator, but would get scolded if I even mentioned it on a camping forum2019 2970RL

I was actually surprised by the results of a recent poll asking Grand Design owners which brand of inverter they use while boondocking...
