The unit I'm looking at is a compact model Westinghouse rated for 2,500 peak watts and 2,200 running watts.
Would that be sufficient to power what I've mentioned?

I had the same idea and purchased a dual fuel Westinghouse inverter generator. I suggest when you receive the generator you run a test powering what you need and keep the extension cords as "dedicated". And remember you will have to start the generator, maybe once every 6 months. I did just that, works great.
