Nobody else touched on the genny question. Your 3kw genny can do an awful lot. You just need to be aware of what the demands are at any point in time. The AC, for example, does not need much to run. It DOES need alot to start the compressor. That microwave oven needs alot but how long do you run that. Once the water is hot the water heater burns next to nothing to keep it hot. Non heat producing thing things like TVs etc burn next to nothing.
Boat: 32' 1996 Albin 32+2, single Cummins 315hp
40+ night per year overnighter
We have 2 2008 Cameo F32SB2's on the lot. one is priced at $54,800 with full custom paint and a fireplace in the bedroom, the other set up more standard and is priced at $51,450. true dry weight on them is 10,534 and 10,693.
A 3800 watt gererator will run everything on a Cameo. A 3000 will if your carefull with accessory appliances (coffee makers, blow dryers) An LP generator will consume on average 1 gal/hour at 60% load. On the Cameo, if you add an LP generator, you should have your dealer upgrade the Lp lines from the tank to hi-flow lines. Otherwise when trying to run the generator and furnace at the same time you will not be able to flow enough LP vapor to supply both. Onan recommends a 3rd independent tank to supply the generator, but there is no place to put it.
We are in Conway, NH. roughly 6 hours from you, Traffords RV, 16 Cameo's in stock as of today.
