Hey y'all. I'm considering buying a generator so that in the event we lose power due to storms we can have a little chamber of coolness and maybe a fridge, at least for short periods. I suppose we might occasionally use it when boondocking but that's not the main purpose.
What size generator should I be looking for? Any suggestions? Quiet equals good.
Has anyone done this? What's reasonable usage and how much gas would it take to run it for 4 hrs or so? I have a 2023 320s.
Thanks much.

I know Honda is the quietest. Has anyone ever heard one of these Wen generators? Are they really that significantly louder? I'm also looking at sound baffling techniques.
It would be nice to run both the AC and fridge (RV fridge mainly, but I guess the big one if that's an option) if we lose power, which is why I'm thinking 3600. However, noise is a bummer. But so is spending an extra $700.
I doubt I'd use the generator at a campground much if ever. I suppose I might use it boondocking occasionally.
Any thoughts?
Infrequently used four years now and possibly never again.
400 ah batteries and 2000w inverter lets us cool things for an hour or two after driving.
