generators, weight and wattage

[AMonger]

Looking at Honda generators. There's one on their website, the EU3000ISAN, that specifies it delivers enough juice to power an AC unit. But it weighs in at 130lbs! How much juice do I need to power, say, a 9000 BTU AC unit, the ones that stand on the floor in the corner? I'd kind of like to have a fridge, too, but I'm guessing I'd have to have a battery bank to power it when I'm not running the generator, right? So how much juice will it take to run the AC unit, the fridge, and maybe a microwave?

The website InvertersRUs [such a dumb name, lol] has a guide to determine how much inverter you need - one of the best sites I found for useful info.

...another vanner in search of the holy grail.

Try a search for "cargo van"+"air conditioner". All of your questions won't be answered, but you'll see what others have done in their quest.
