This combination is keeping my 7’ x 7’ x 6’ sleeping compartment of my white some what insulated windowless trailer at 70 degrees on a sunny 95 degree day. It runs the fan on the AC on eco mode and only speeds up when the air conditioning compressor kicks in. I’m still breaking it in but it seems to be only a little louder than the air conditioner running after I set a foam cooler lid under the generator pad on the tongue of my trailer to stop any vibration. I have really good hearing and can’t really hear it over my neighbor’s RV air conditioner 200 paces away. I’m at 4,200 feet of elevation and using the jets the generator came with on a 30 pound propane bottle. According to the manufacturer it should be able to run continuously for 23 hours on a 20 pound bottle but we will see. As a seasonal employee propane is furnished with my full hookup site so not really concerned about costs. We will use this while traveling without hook ups. Three nights of air conditioned sleep in the middle of remote desert heat seems possible. Thanks Jimmyindenver for the AC info.
 
I have the exact setup for my cargo trailer and it works well for me.
 
Got the same gennie, love it, I only run it on propane too. I've got a small 5000 BTU AC as well just in case, haven't used it though. I'm thinking of gifting it to Morgana so she won't ROAST herself before she gets the hang of this! :ROFLMAO:

Cheers!
