Bought a Sunray 109 mini camper and have no idea what size or brand generator needed. At most to be ran on power would be microwave, interior light, and t.v with playstation for a DVD player. TIA guys

18-22kw should be adequate.

You can get by on 2000 watts, 3000 if you want to run everything at once. Get an inverter type, Honda 2200 if you want the gold standard, but I suspect the gap between it and a Wen or Champion is smaller than the price difference.

If you want to run AC effectively in the summer, you'll need roughly 3kw or two 1800w in parallel.

My Honda EU2000 runs a 7000btu window tv and lights with no problem. I believe they replaced the eu2000 with the eu2200 because it was designed to start and run 13000btu AC unit found on a lot of camper trailers.

What about a coffee maker?

Coffee makers pulls quite a bit of power.

That predator generator 3500 posted is legit...

When you get it upgrade the spark plug the Honda equivalent.

Buy two of them. Use one to break in and then throw it away (or keep as a spare) and then change to the other plug and that fricker will eat like a champ.

This is the answer. You don't have to leave your trailer when it's cold outside to fire up the generator just to make a cup of coffee.
