2KW is simply NOT going to start a 13500 AC! U'r AC requires about 22 amps to start and runs at about 12 amps. Very simply...Power(in Watts) equals Current(in Amps) times Volts....ie; 22 amps X 125 Volts = 2750 watts needed to start the AC. Your Honda eu2000 is probably rated at 2000 watts SURGE(MAX) and only about 1700 watts run.
Please stop posting absolute crap!
I have a 13500 Dometic duo therm and it stars just fine with my EU2000i , even on Eco mode.......this is 90 degrees and 1500 ft.
You may say that some wont start it depending on age, temp, altitude, etc......but don't say "2KW is simply NOT going to start a 13500 AC! " because that is not true.
Depends if you have a start cap or not and your altitude/temp.
I can make a vid for you.
