Instead of the 2.2 KW Generator, I can get the 6.8KW Generator, which would run the AC continuous if we wanted. It's available for the asking, so I'll ask!!
So long as it has a 30 amp plug, that will work. The AC draws about 18 amps on startup of the compressor. I can use an adaptor for the common 15 amp plug, but these can get awfully warm.... I have a 15-20 foot 30 amp extension, and I can also bring a 25 foot 12-2 extension (which can handle 20 amps max) -- but it would have to use the 15 amp adapter.
I'm bringing a Honda eu2000i generator, which can do 2000 watts peak for 30 minutes, or 1600 watts continuously. That will easily run a rig, lights, fans for a couple of stations, and it gets pretty good economy out of a tank of gas (up to 15 hours on 1.1 gallons)
