I finally ordered the honda EU2000I and the 2000 watt companion that can be run in series to power the whole pod. They say it puts out 26 - 30 amps depending on load. I figure one of those units can almost run the a/c by itself. I find the a/c draws between 14 - 17 amps, and 1 genny can produce 13 - 16 amps. So i should have plenty of power to spare. Of course I'm sure the output of the genny's isn't going to be exactly as advertised, but I trust it will be within a few amps of what they say. Now I really can't wait for spring and put it to the test.

Would be interested in some progress reports once you get to put them to use.

We have the same combo and it works really well. You might consider one of these:

Excellent recommendation bum. I am not sure how much runtime i'll need, but i will surely give this a thought. Thanks.
