to the honda2000 owners....
im wondering what kind of rooftop type air conditioner you guys are running with your honda 2000 generators. So far, ive found that the coleman polar cub 9200 and coleman mach 3 power saver can be run...

Hope this reply helps with some general information: I have both a Yamaha 2400 and Honda 2000. They Y-2400 runs a 13,500 btu a/c just fine (it doesn't run a 15,000 consistently) The H-2000 "CAN" run 13,500 but "ONLY" when you start the fan first, get up to speed and THEN press the cool button. It will not start the a/c with out fan running first and then will not run it continuously, and never from a dead start.
The Honda -2000 will run A/C's 9,000 btu and lower (consistently use with 6,000 8,000 and 9,000 btu units on several of our Roadtreks' and pleasureway's) As a previous poster said, it is the startup amperage that makes the difference. On a "B" they will work fine as A/C's are around 7-8,000 btu and Microwave usually 700 watts, and both will run at same time.
Check the spec's on you unit's appliances, and compare to the peak and running output of your gen set, and decide what you want to be able to run concurrently.
Good Luck
