I have often read that a regular roof AC can be run with a Honda 2000, I personally have run a 13.5k roof air with a Honda 2000.
I can also run my 11k roof unit with my Honda but it is not dependable even with a hard start capacitor installed.
The 11k Colman power saver draws 45.6 LRA. Locked Rotor Amps. 45.6A is under ideal conditions. When you look at the numbers the 45.6 is beyond the capability's of the Honda.
The mighty little Honda will start and run the 11k when the temperature is in the 70's, somewhere between 70 and the 90's the Honda will no longer start the AC! A web search shows that for every person that claims to be running a roof air on a 2000 there are 5 that say it will not work!
