Welcome from Colorado: And welcome to the Airstream owner's community. I was born, raised and lived in Iowa 40 years before moving to Minnesota, and now Colorado in retirement. But Iowa sure seems like home to me. My wife's folks bought a new Airstream in 1986 just after their retirement and traveled all over with it. They were "snowbirds" and migrated to Texas after the holidays for the rest of the winter. The trailer was handed to us in 2005 and we have enjoyed it. We did no traveling this year due to the pandemic, but we are now both vaccinated and hope to get out this late spring. So many folks have taken to RV travel that finding a place to stay may be a challenge. Here we are out traveling several years ago under a lemon tree. It is a 86 Limited 34'. A big Airstream.
I have a Honda 3000i generator that will run the air conditioner. It is quiet but the thing weighs 130 pounds. It is too much to get in and out of the pickup for me. I built a ramp, but it is still rather difficult. Many folks daisy chain two 2000 watt generators together for more power when needed. The smaller generators are easy for me to carry, and unless the AC needs to run, one generator will power the trailer nicely. It is common to see campground restrictions on generators so check the rules.
