GENERATOR

Why cables, why not just connect the tow wire harness to charge the battery?

Hello, question on generator? We normal camp at electric sites and would like to venture out to non electric. What size generator would we need to run the pods 13,500 btu A/C ?

2400 min.  A 3000 might be better.  I recently had a problem starting my air con with a 2400.  I think that will easily be resolved with a hard start capacitor for under $20.  Or you can go with 2 2000w generators and hook them together for 4000w when necessary.  I don't see the attraction in hauling 2 generators around though, unless you have plenty of space. I guess lifting 2 x 2k generators one at a time is easier than lifting one 3k or 4k generator. 

If you are going to be camping around other people you should strongly consider a Yamaha or a Honda.  Those are much quieter, but also more expensive.

If you do speed charge them don't forget they may be gassing hydrogen so be careful with sparks and other ignition sources.  You may want to connect/disconnect at the TV.
