Can Onan Microlite 2.8 handle a 13,500 BTU A/C?
I was thinking of upgrading my roof air from 11,000 to 13,500 BTU's. It's a Dometic Penguin. Can my Onan 2.8 handle it?

Power(in watts)= current(amps)X AC volts...ie: if the 13500 draws 20 amps at initial startup and U'r average AC Volts is approx. 118... 20 X 118 = 2360 Watts
Question... Is this genny 2.8(2800)watts continous run power or its momentary 'Peak' output power?
After initial startup, U'r genny probably only draws about 13 amps running.
13 X 118 = 1534 watts.
If U get this AC unit, monitor the AC voltage at any outlet. Never let it be loaded to the point that it goes below 107 Volts AC. Too low voltage will ruin the AC compressor.
