For starters, I'm surprised know one has mentioned needing a good sized battery bank. I would start with 4- 6 volts. If you do not need air, get a Honda 2000 (3000 if you need air) and you should only have to run it maybe 2-3 hours a day if that to keep the batteries charged up. Run the fridge and water heater (only when necessary) on propane. We can boondock several weeks at a time on one 30lb lp tank and 5 gallons of gas.
Do not use the on board genny ( as you found out they really suck up propane) and keep a watchful eye on the 12 volt things you use like lights. Do not leave anything on that is not necessary. Use a propane grill for most of your cooking needs.

If you want to run 1 a/c once in a while then you could install an easy start from Micro-Air on your a/c and then you could use a Honda 2200 watt or equal Invertor generator. The price is 299.00 for an easy start.

I added the Micro-Air yesterday. I still need to try and see if my Honda 2000 will run my 15K A/C.

It may run it , but something is not going to like it. Think melted cords/burnt ends etc. Get the right tool for the right job !!!

I tried the Honda 2000 today and it ran my A/C fine. It only draws between 9 and 11 amps, even upon start up. I would shut off all circuits so as not to overload.
