Dual Honda 2200's
I am about to buy 2 Honda 2200 generators to run in parallel, but I have some questions. I noticed there is a "companion" model that is $100 more that includes a 30amp plug. But from my research i...

If it's slightly below capacity, there's no problem. But when something is near the edge, little things can make all the difference, for instance: Temperature, humidity, characteristics of the specific air conditioner, tune condition of the generator, RV owner controlling other loads, battery state of charge, elevation, location of the generator (sun, shade, etc.), quality of the dogbone connector, and other little details.
I think the 'take away' here for anyone reading is that whether one 2k or 2.2k will start and run your air is entirely an individual experience.
My original question was about running DUAL 2200's for my 15K unit, and how to connect the 2 generators. Is there a possibility this setup will not run my AC?
I'd say it's highlhy likely the dual 2200's will not have a problem. But there is no guarantee, doesn't say there won't be, but before I got my micro air easy start, I used dual 2000's to start and run my 13.5K unit. the pair would easily start and run the AC unit at altitudes above 5,000ft at temps near 100F even when in eco mode when the AC kicked in with the factory installed starting cap.
What I will say is that dual 2200's with a micro air easy start you will not have a problem starting the AC units. But then that may be way overkill.
The 2200's give an extra 400VA of starting power.
