Running AC on inverter
I'm installing a 2000 watt inverter, was wondering if it's can run an AC unit? Anyone run one off 2000W

The short answer ...No .. You'll drain almost any battery bank in minutes ..even if the inverter was large enough.

(a) a 2000 watt power supply of any sort is marginal for the standard 13,500 BTU RV AC unit
(b) As @jorbill2or said, a realistic RV battery bank of 1 or 2 6v or 12 v batteries will be sucked dry in minutes. There just isn't enough energy in 'em to handle a useful AC run.
