OK thanks for that SCClockDr. Guess I don't know how to do the clicky. I did the control C & V but guess that does not work.
The guy from the forest river forum seems happy with the Micro-Air, and I do think it will work. But one of my concerns is I run the generator chained in the back of the pick up, so I run a 10 gauge 50' extension cord from the generator to the back of the 5er, then thru an adaptor to get it into the 50amp service, then the power would run to the circuit breaker box, then to the A/C. So I am somewhat concerned about line loss before I get what ever power to the A/C. The video shows them doing this to a 13,500btu A/C on a pop up camper so the cord may only be 10 feet long....
Quick reply is devoid of the needed buttons to produce a clicky. The Reply to Topic and Advanced post Form prompts do provide them.
Does your unit have a hard wired cord or does it plug in to the trailer.
I would convert it to a plugin arrangement then fashion a generator cord and chain the gen to the rear of the trailer during setup if voltage drop were an issue.
I've run 90' of 30amp cord without issue for a 15K AC with no mods to the line in other than the length.
