generator help
What size generator does it take to run a 13,500 AC unit on a 23ft. Hybrid? I'm not at all knowledgeable when it comes to that type of thing.

- We have a 23' Hybrid with the 13500k a/c. I use two champion 2000 generators with a parallel kit. The a/c starts quite easily and runs like a champ. I also just tested out a Honda 3000 eu on our camper and it handles it as well. Camper is on our property under a shade tree, but it's about 97F this afternoon. The champions generate 3400 watts continuous and the Honda about 2800 watts.
- Running it, 1800 watts will be fine. However, it isn't running that is the issue, it is the inrush current which can get up to 60 amps, and for that you will need to have around 3500 watts. These watts can be from a pair of Honda eu2000i models, or a 3000 watt generator with access to the battery for the few seconds to deal with the compressor starting up.
