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)
