Window AC's typically are 5000-6000 btu's which cover a 12x12 room. Some would disagree as it has to work quite hard to keep up with that number! (especially if its an extremely hot room). 13.5k as a home AC unit would be trying to cool about 450 -500 sq feet, roughly 20x25. The power requirements are pretty linear, the small ACs will draw between 5-7 amps and thus can be run with a 1000w generator.
If there is absolutely no need for 240, this is a pretty decent price, with a twist lock l5 connector. The reason I like like 240v capable ones in this wattage range is flexibility, your not trying to draw all 30 amps into one line. You can get split tree L14, which can do both 120 and 240, and has multiple outlets along the 240 chain. It has two hots a neutral and a ground. I can run a single heavy duty 240 extention to the house and the split off the tree from there.
Dont forget to get an adequate extention cord, with the twist lock. I dont think you can use all the power out of the one outlet anyways (its 30amps from the twist lock, so you have to use the other outlet to get to the "surge" load rating). In other words, if you load up the 3000 or so watts on the L5, when the compressor for that fridge kicks on and kicks it to 3500, the overload breaker will blow, but you wouldnt have exceeded the capability of the generator. This is quite common place and you usually won't find it except in the fine print as they often time the generator heads can have two outputs.
Hope this helps!
The price isnt bad, but its also not 240v capable. So while the watts are up there, it depends on your needs.

Fridge: Yes. AC, maybe. (depends on how big, how many, with or without the fridge on). Fans, for sure, but see total load. Lamps, yes. But LED and CFL bulbs may or may not be blinky with a non sine wave output.

Your RV probably has a 13.5k btu unit, drawing 15 amps with the blower. Thats only 1800 watts on paper, but thats the minimum. Restart loads can go up to 3500 (hence the 3500#).

Which is better?
Window AC maybe, but forget a central unit. I have a 10,000 Peak watt gen feeding my panel via a switch and I wouldn't attempt connecting my 2.5ton AC. That being said, I can run 90% of my house.

Yes, in this and any small engine that does not get used daily and sits dormant often; i.e. mower, weed eater, chainsaw, etc
