  • I have a Honda 2000. It will run an AC sometimes. Please, don't let anyone tell you that it will work....it won't.
    SeaDog/BBB has given you good advice. Good size, Good product, quiet and you won't regret your purchase. There may be others that "might" do the job in a slightly smaller size, but give yourself the confidence that it will work. Did I mention, its quiet????
  • keep in mind its not just the AC and the TV when you plug into the generator you power your converter also and any of the thing hooked to it. I would go with nothing less then 3500 watts continuos and 5K surge.
  • When I had my fifth wheel I had a 2000 watt Honda and it would do the AC, but a little more would be better.
