Tailgating Generator - Researched through the threads but I have a question...

Between Honda, Yamaha and Kipor I think I'm gonna go Kipor. But what's the minimum wattage to use? I don't want a KISS concert or even music really. We want a TV, the Box and probably a Tailgater Satellite setup. Maybe a cold AC setup.
How much wattage do I need? How small-or large-should I go, and what do you run and how much wattage/what kind of setup do you have?

Honda eu2000 is what you need.

We run speakers, a TV, the box, and the dish on the little 1500 W champion generator that i bought for $190 on amazon. Eligible for prime free shipping too

Can you compare noise levels for the Champion to the Kipor and Honda whisper quiet inverters?

Make sure it's compliant with the LSU regs or the generator Nazi running around campus will shut you down.

LSU has no regulations on generators. Only suggestions.

That's what I use and it requires a power inserter
I assume those auto aiming dishes require power too

Wasn't there a thread about some safety douche shutting down generators last weekend?

Determine your total watts for all by
Volts X amps = Watts
TV say 110 V X 2 amps = 220 watts for a TV
2000 watt generator will push about 2000 max/load watts

Spend the cash and get a Honda EU. Trouble free, quiet, and will handle what you need it for.
