I have 3760 EL and looking to get a generator but I am not sure what to buy. If I wanted to run everything what size do I need?

Do you want both AC units? Need to define everything.
Running everything including a residential fridge, water heater, washer/dryer and 2 AC units you are talking at 11 Kw Generator.
If you use 1 AC, propane fridge/water heater and limit hairdryer or microwave use you can get buy with 4 Kw.
I have a 3760el also - I ordered gen prep- installed 7000 onan fuel injected- can run both a/cs, fridge 3 tvs and microwave as well as 3 dish receivers- 2 soundbars and cellular router- laptop charger - all without any issue- in open area direct sun 98 texas heat and acs on high-
7k is same price and size as 5500 , fuel consumption is minimally different due to fuel injection- and I should be able to add a 3rd a/c and run it ( attwood 13.5 -very power efficient- but so far I don't think ill need - but was a factor that I wanted to be able to run- as its been 100 /99 for last 2 weeks- )
I can give you details where to buy best price and help with fuel tank- depends on how much you plan on using it-propane models are 15-20% less efficient - so a 6500lp model is like a 5500 gas- so if you need to run 4-5 days at a time frequently like me- youll want a gas model
I have a 2012 Landmark Rushmore. Two 15 k BTU ACs my Onan generator is a 5500 Marquis LP. I replaced the 20 amp breakers to a 30 amp breakers. I can dry camp with out any issues. Set the ac 2° apart this keeps them from cycling on at the same time. Obviously if "everything" is running you may pop a breaker. I've never had a problem.

Lp. Original was a 20 amp breaker and replaced it with a 30 amp breaker. Now I have two 30 amp breakers on the genset.
