15k BTU on 2200 watt generator
Will easy start allow me to run AC on 2200 watt generator? I see Yamaha has a brand new 2200 generator that looks fantastic. How are the Y's compared to the Honda's? How bad are the cheap Sam's...

Only the manufacturer's LRA and continuous current ratings give a true, accurate picture of the power/current necessary to start and run a given RV a/c unit. Be sure and check (and compare) these specs---don't assume anything based on the BTU rating.
FWIW, after about 30 min warm-up run time period, my Coleman P.S. Mach 1 11k btu air cond uses about 2 amps more (across the board) than Coleman specs claim...
The specs given in the brochures are under ideal or laboratory conditions, I show the Mach 1 PS LRA at 45.6. I know for sure my Honda 2000 will not start and run my 11k roof air with a hard start capacitor when the temperatures start getting up towards the 90's.
The Honda 2000 will start and run an 8k btu AC under all conditions!
