I bought a Champion 3400w inverter generator.
It was specifically made to power RVs with the bigger 15k btu a/c units.
It doesn't have electric start. But like you, I don't plan on using it frequently. I got a great deal on mine when it went on sale. I actually bought this generator before the RV. Knowing a big a/c unit was something I wanted.
Champion has made a big effort to win over generator market share. They have a decent rep as a result. Mine starts first pull everytime I've used it. It's quiet and rv plug ready.
Also, if you plan on a smaller generator (or even if you don't) take a look at microair easy start.
I plan to eventually add one of these easy starts to my a/c. Reportedly, it allows smaller gens to run our a/c or something like the Champion idle in econo mode.
