To calculate your wattage needs, add your appliances' watts together. Add up the starting wattage requirements of every appliance you will run at the same time and the total is the minimum wattage needed. Consider the surge Power, you should add about 20% to your maximum load so that your unit won't suffer the abuse of running nonstop at full power. Generally speaking, the higher a generator's wattage, the more expensive it will be.

Noise Level

Consider other campers are near your running generator or some places typically have quiet hours to help limit generator noise levels, you should consider purchasing a generator that operates with a lower dBA rating. For those who frequently camp at these destinations, a silent and environmental-friendly generator is needed since noise and exhaust fumes are not welcome when camping in close quarters.

Fuel Type

There are two most common type of generators used in RVs: diesel and gasoline. These generators are primarily portable and manufactured especially to fit in RVs. Consider the cost, storage requirement, and availability of the two options, you can find out which suits your preference more.
