Between my brothe and I we have installed the micro air on two units, One a coleman MachIII 13.5KBTU the other a dometic 13.5K BTU. In both cases with a honda 2000 in eco mode, both AC's will easily start on the honda 2000 even up above 5000 ft. But then they will overload after a bit. The honda 2000 seems to be good to about 3500ft. Now on both units the honda 2200 will start and run them on a hot day at 5000ft plus. In once case it was run several times at 7,000ft. the micro air will detect impeding overload and kick out the load if it thinks it is close to overload. On occasion at 7000ft and 90F or so it would kick out once, then come back on and run for hours.

The honda 2200 has two advantages, 200more VA, but more importantly a much larger engine so less affected by altitude. BTW the honda's were jetted for sea level, not high altitude.

Thanks for the detailed info. Our new EU2200i just arrived a few days ago. Got our fingers crossed we get similar results. BTW, in your previous post ref inrush current with the Micro Air, what did you use to measure it?
