New to Airstream

[Acdph7t]

I am new to Airstream Forum and in the process of purchasing a used 2017 International Signature 28. I have a question about external ganerators. Please let me know if I am asking this in the wrong place.
Can you use an external generator on this Airstream if it has two AC units (50 AMP system)? I was considering buying a Honda EU2200i along with a EU2200i companion and tying them together. I believe the second AC unit does away with the external connection on the AS, but wondered if there was another way to connect to the AS electrical system. I am aware that the 2 generators tied together will not power everything but thought it may provide enough power for one AC unit or microwave along with low amp accessories. I would appreciate any feedback.

You wouldn't have the second connection in the front, but you'd still have the one on the side. Instead of plugging the electrical cord into an electric pedestal, you would plug it into your generator(s) - via a 50A to 30A adapter. Maybe something like this:

The two generators will only supply around 26 amps continuously, 32 amps for short periods. You probably will only be able to operate one of your air conditioners at a time. If you add the EasyStart modules to them you probably will be able to operate both, but no other major loads like the microwave.

Edit:
Numbers I quoted were for eU2000i, not the 2200, continuous rating probably around 29 amps, surge around 35. EasyStart comment still valid.

Welcome to Air Forums: There is an new International parked close to us in this campground. Very nice Airstream. It also

I have a Honda 3000 that I bought from a neighbor who was moving. The price was right, but the weight is wrong. I haven't figured out how I can load the 130 pound thing in the pickup by myself yet. Two Honda 2000s make more sense. The soft start systems make sense two so as to not slam the generator. 50 amps at 120 volts is what, about 6000 watts of power. I know you don't turn everything on at once. You can easily run one AC, but not two is my guess.
