That’s good news…What size is your air conditioner?…Easy-Start??

easy start. I have a coleman MachIII 13.5K BTU from around 2010 and my brother has a dometic 13.5K unit, also with easy start and a honda 2200.
On both our units a honda 2000 would start on eco, but the easy start would cycle the AC on and off due to generator overload above about 3500 ft or so. run for 20 minutes or so, then cut off the AC for 5-10 minutes, then start back up.....
The coleman power cub 9000BTU unit on my small trailer runs fine on a 2000 even at 8000 ft or so w/o any mod's, starts fine runs fine, but only draws about 9 amps IIRC and has a much lower LRA.
