That is amazing considering the plug has the nub on it. (My vocabulary is failing me so I'll just call it a nub.)

Sous may be right about genset size. I boondock quite a bit, but don't camp in the summer so don't need an a/c. I've never had larger than a 1000W genset and have been trailer camping for over 20 years. Bigger gensets use a lot more gas and usually make more noise. Right now I'm on a Honda 1000W Inverter, which puts out 900W (at 115V) which is enough to put 45 amps (at 12V) from my smart charger into my (4) 6V batteries. My wife watches (satellite) TV pretty much all day, and a couple hours a day on the Honda, supplemented by a small 160W solar panel does it for us. Bottom line is, it all depends on how how you camp.

One more thought: My Honda weighs 29 lbs dry which I can lift in and out of my truck bed. My camping buddy got a 2000W genset which weighs about 55 lbs dry and he is having more and more trouble moving it around as we approach 80 years old. I have no idea what your 3,600W genset weighs, I'm guessing close to 100 lbs, but it's going to be harder and harder to move it around, especially as you get older.
