Curious about what size generator required for a RV with dual A/Cs one is a domestic 15000 but and the other is a 13500

Because of the starting amperage and running amps required for your dual A/C system, I recommend the A-iPower 9,000-Watt Portable Generator - 7,000 Running Watts - Gas - Electric Start # 289-SUA9000E. This will allow for plenty of running power for both units simultaneously but you will of course still need to start one unit at a time. This generator will supply enough power so that it won't dictate which unit the 15k or the 13.5K unit is started first.

The starting amps required are the issue with the dual units, so you will be well under the running amps needed so you will have plenty of power for other components even with both units blowing cold air.
