There is a partial solution. They can add a "soft start" unit to the air/con. This is basically a small capacitor that stores up some power and when the compressor kicks on, the capacitor dumps it's power into the system and makes up much of the difference...2000w is still marginal.
The MicroAir EasyStart is not a "soft start" capacitor. It is something entirely different, and works MUCH better than any "soft start" capacitor. Do a search in RV.NET on "MicroAir EasyStart" and you will find thread after thread from people who have actually installed them on their rigs.
