15k BTU AC on Parallel Hondas?
I am wondering if anyone has actual, personal experience running their 15k BTU AC unit on parallel Honda 2000's. My Yamaha 2400 would take care of the 13.5 unit. But the 15k is too much for it. I...

Do you mean eCon mode
No generator is running at idle while powering the A/C
I've run a paired set of EU2000I's with my Dometic 13.5k in eco mode on both, and once the AC is started up, they do indeed loaf at the regular Eco rpm settings. Elevation was 3000 feet and outside temp was 96F. That's 5 to 5.5 amps per generator, and both of them did not change their engine speed when the AC turned off. The tone of the exhaust note changed a bit, but the pitch and rpms remained the same. This was my observation. YMMV. I was running ethanol free gas in it, at the time. Gas with ethanol in it really takes a good chunk of power away from a Honda EU2000I, as does going up in elevation.
