When shopping for the best generator for RV air conditioner, it is important to consider the size, fuel type, noise level, and cost. Size should be determined by the size of the RV and the type of air conditioner you are using. Most RV air conditioners are powered by either a 12-volt or a 24-volt motor. If you choose a generator that has the wrong voltage, you may risk damaging the air conditioner. Ryan Wicks
