It may be close, even with the EU3000, if you try to run everything at once.
The Honda's have two ratings ... peak and continuous. The EU2000 will
deliver 2000 watts peak, but either 1600 or 1800 watts continuously. The
EU3000 will be rated similarly, proportional to 3000 watts peak.

The Sprinter has a small microwave, 13,500 btu A/C, small refrigerator and
a small inverter/converter for the TV/stereo and battery charger.

The little Onan 2.5 kw generator will run everything at once, but it knows
it has a load on it.

Calling Larry a "preacher," whether intentional or not, sort of shines
a light on things.

You'll never power the camper AND that big AC with 3000i. It'll be a
constant overtrip condition every time the giant AC tries to crank its
compressor.

You're into 6KW class, minimum, with or without the crack about Freemasons
any my 1st Amendment rights.

I'm afraid the 3KW is going to be it. However, I could just make a rule to
stay where hookups are provided. Did you find yourself using the Onan much?

I may end up being a generator-less person. For the $2000 I'd spend on the
generator, I could spend a lot of nights with the additional hookup fees!

You misread my post. I am not able to affect your !st Amendment rights,
other than by voting. I provided a contingency clause to any buyout of an
old, beat up, 3KW generator, i.e., a great deal and a preaching cessation.

Very rarely. In fact, the only time I run it is to "exercise" it once in a
while. We used it once to make a pot of coffee while parked in a marina
parking lot where shore power was not available.

The EU3000 will be fine .... just don't try to run everything all at once.
It is rated at 2800 watts continuous which is about 23 anps. The A/C plus
a coffeemaker *or* the microwave should load it up pretty much. Electric
coffee makers draw anywhere from 7 to 10 amps. The microwave will vary
depending on it's wattage, but a small one still draws 8 amps or more. The
A/C unit is probably about 10-12 amps. These are off the top of my head
guesses, but they should be close. The rest of the stuff ... TV, refridge,
etc. only draw a couple of amps.

You probably have a water heater that can run on either propane or electric.
I prefer to run ours on propane. It's efficient and saves a few amps. Same
with the refrig. If no shore power is available and running on the
generator, switch it over to propane. It uses very little and saves another
amp or two. The refrig will run for a month or so on a typical camper
propane tank.

Herring is always ISO of the cheap way, and usually doesn't have enough
knowledge to even make that sort of decision properly. He put an anchor
line pulley on the bow of his boat and thinks he's going to be able to
use it to mount the anchor. He bought a new boat trailer without wheel
bearing lubes or protectors. He bought a new four stroke outboard and
then was asking which two stroke oil to use in it.

Stupid is as stupid does.

(Some RV questions)

BTW John,

If you plan to travel around to different campsites and or RV parks, I
recommend that you carry an inexpensive but accurate voltmeter with you and
check the voltage in one of your 120v outlets with the A/C on. Not all, but
some parks are notorious for having poor, outdated power service and the
voltage tends to droop when they get loaded.
If the voltage drops too much, it can damage your A/C compressor when it
tries to kick on.

When we had our house in Florida, the electrical power service was awful.
Voltage varied all over the place.
To make matters worse, I installed an underground, 30 amp electrical service
out to our RV that ran about 200 feet.
Even though I used a much heavier gauge wire (6 AWG) to compensate for the
run, the voltage at the camper would sometimes drop to 105 vac, sometimes
less when the A/C kicked on.

I purchased one of these to solve the problem and carried it with us in the
RV. If a park's electrical service was poor, I'd use it to keep the voltage
up at our site's service, protecting the A/C unit.

RV's and TT's are like boats. You simply can't spend enough money on them.
