	Welcome! The generator you first mentioned would run the TV quite easily. The second generator you mentioned would likely run the AC if you add an EasyStart device to the AC. https://www.microair.net/products/easystart-364-3-ton-single-phase-soft-starter-for-air-conditioners?variant=30176048267

	I just got my first R Pod. Tons of questions, but most will work themselves out.. Next week I am installing the 200 watt Renogy Solar panels as part of my power system.. I am also looking at generators.. I have a Coleman Powermate 1850 that is quiet, but not sure it will run the TV and probably will not start the AC unit..The AC unit for the most part will not be a big issue living in Oregon on the coast.. But there might be a time.. So I have been looking at inverter generators.. A local shop has the Energizer eZV2000P for $499.00. It is Parallel capable and seems to get some good reviews. Does anyone have experience with this product.. Also would on it's own work the AC? I am a HAM Radio operator amd look forward to making this my portable Ham Shack...
