My main thing was bringing something different to the table for you besides the two 2000's or one 3000 scenario. I am trying to decide whether I want to spend some money on solar or go the single small generator route for watching tv when boondocking as my built in unit is way overkill as it is designed to run two AC's. Uses a lot of propane to just watch tv using the satellite.

We had two of that model - one could not start the 15k btu AC and had to gang them. Got to be too much hassle and went with a HF Predator 4k watt peak that does it fine and isn't much nosier than the two Yamahas running at the same time. Only need it when it's too hot and need the air conditioner though. Solar does everything else.
