I just sold a Champion 75531i 3100/2800 watt inverter generator a week or so ago. Great little generator with tons of headroom, but just a tad too loud when the a/c compressor kicks on. Some of the RV parks I frequent have a huge Honda generator fan-base. They see "yellow" and automatically think it's too loud.
So, my plan B after selling the Champion was to try a new Yamaha EF2400iSHC--a good bit quieter than the Champion under full load. I knew beforehand I was taking a risk, so I got an OK from the dealer for a return if it did not power my 2012, Dometic 13,500 BTU rooftop a/c unit. So, gave this thing my best shot. The Yamaha would start the compressor ok, but the Yamaha would overload very soon thereafter (every breaker turned off except a/c). FWIW, my 2012 Dometic 13,500 BTU a/c draws 12.2 amps with the fan on high. Draws about 60 amps of inrush current when the compressor kicks on.
So, my plan C? Just got tired of trying to go on the cheap--decided to go for a sure thing and get a pair of Hondas. Just found a brand new, never even been run, EU2000i on Craigslist two days ago for an absolute song! To compliment it, just ordered an EU2000i Companion unit from Wisesales for $999. Cannot believe I've spent this much money on some generators, but hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
