I've given up on my 248 hour Fischer Panda generator. Likely replacing it with a Northern Lights. The FP is the 8 Mini. That's about 65 amps, much more than needed if it worked correctly. What size generator do others have? I have two air conditioners, fridge and freezer as the big power hogs.

For a point of reference - I have two A/C's - 16K & 7K, water heater, separate 12V fridge & freezer, and two 80A battery chargers.
I can run everything simultaneously except for one of the battery chargers on a Westerbeke 5Kw genset. 5Kw is about 42A of 120V power.
Compare your A/C sizes, and make a choice. Remember that the A/C's in heat mode draw a couple more amps than in cool mode.
