Portable Generators
I would like to have some recommendations on portable generators. I need 115 volt and 30 amps.
Basically I want to store the generator in my "dock box" and only use it when I want A/C on the lake. What does everyone use?

Re: Portable Generators
Honda, Honda, Honda pick one with 30 amps capacity...
30 amps will require at least 3 600 watts

Correct me if I'm wrong, but If it's only for your A/C, I don't think you need 30 AMPs at 125 Volts. The A/C unit you were looking at consumes only about 4 amps continuous. It might surge to 30 at startup, but not continuous.
125V at 30 amps continuous is 3750 Watts.
