Becky,
We too have a 76 and use a generator on most trips. We do a lot of self
contained tailgating and camping so it is a must for us. I would recommend
at least 4000 watts if you use your air conditioner. An original Armstrong
uses about 1800 watts if I remember and I would double that for the surge of
the compressor coming on. Those small ones will work for lights and fans
but heat producing appliances like microwaves and hair dryers use a lot. I
have a Generac 4000 XL and highly recommend it. It's very quite and runs
9-10 hours on a 4 gal. tank of gas. It also comes with a 30 amp plug and
breaker. I would not, however, recommend carrying it in, or attaching to
the coach.
