They all take gas or diesel.

RV generators have about three times the horse power as generators in that size range (portable) and run at around 1800 rpm., which is much easier to muffle. They also have electric start. They cost way more then a portable of the same size. And they operate much more efficiently. The best thing is how much quieter they are compared to a portable. Compare the specs of an RV generator to one of the same size. Way different. 45db @ 20ft!

An RV generator is one that was designed to be installed in an RV. Has a special cooling system. To allow it to be installed in the small compartment. Most of the older ones are 1800 RPM the newer ones are 3600 RPM. But they have covers that make them as quiet as the 1800 RPM units. Portables were not intended to be installed in RVs. Plus at 3600 RPM which is the speed of most of them. You would not want them around a camp site.

To power your RV air conditioner with a generator, you'll typically need a heavy-duty power cord rated for at least 30 amps, especially for most RV AC units. The cord should be at least 10-gauge to handle the high current safely. Ensure the generator's output matches the AC unit’s requirements, usually around 3,000 to 4,000 watts for starting power. Always check both the generator's specifications and your RV's electrical requirements before connecting.
