[VAC] Generator for air conditioner?-help

[Rusty Coonfield <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

gotta keep the dog cool in the california power blackouts!

does anyone have some quick thoughts on a brand of quiet generator capable
of handling the needs of an air conditioner?
for that matter - what is a good air conditioner to buy if i need a new one?
camping world has duo therm "brisk air" and "penguin" and coleman.

i see that camping world has  air conditioners that range from 10 to 15.5
amp draw and that they have yamaha generators with numbers like:

                           Rated/Max. AC Output: 850/1000 watts
                           Rated AC Current: 7.1 amps/120V

how much generator do i need to keep that going and what do i need to have
the generator automatically switch on when the power from the post fails?

PS. if you couldn't tell - i'm not to up on my amps and  kilowatts and such

thanks in advance!
