Generator/airconditioning

My husband is wanting to know if a 2000 watt generator will run a 5600 btu air conditioner? Please anyone know, he's bugging me to death. LOL

    We are talking about 5600 BTUs right? Typical RV AC units are 13500 BTU or 15000 BTU (13.5k , 15k).


    The larger units use a 13.5 to 15K AC unit. Some of the smaller units do use smaller A/C units,

  • Are you sure it's a 5600 BTU A/C Most are rated 13500 BTU. Some come with an optional heat strip which are typically rated at 5600 BTU. (click)
