[C320-list] Help, Please with this questions: What is the minimumgenerator wattagenecessary to efficiently run my 30 AMPonboard charger?

[Robert Seastream]

We have the Honda EU2000i 'companion' generator, which we store in the  
port locker.  We bought the 'companion' (meant to be paralleled with  
another EU2000i) because it had a 'twistlock' outlet in addition to a  
standard three prong outlet, but no 12 VDC outlet.  We wanted the  
twistlock outlet for the secure connection it allows vs the standard  
three prong outlet.  It's at least enough to power our 5000 BTU  
onboard air conditioner, and more.  The standard EU2000i has two  
standard 120 VAC three prong outlets and 12VDC outlets but no  
twistlock outlet.
