I'm really surprised the 2400 doesn't run the air conditioner because my eu2000i ran one reliably. Make sure the fridge is on 'gas only', that's easy to miss, and of course the electric water heater element isn't on. You'd maybe have to kill the converter, too, but I'd think the 2400 would handle it and the air conditioner most of the time. Some of the air conditioners ship without a hard start capacitor. Saves a couple of dollars. That could be the issue. I'm assuming a reasonably low altitude. All bets are off is you're higher than a couple thousand feet.
With no other loads, (and, of course individually) -
My Yam 2400is starts & runs the factory supplied 15K btu A/C on my 5th just fine.
The trailer has a second factory *optional* 13.5 btu A/C for the bedroom. The Yam will struggle to get it going - then OK.
Suspect the optional (13.5) A/C doesn't have a hard start capacitor.
(Never bothered to check)
Caveat: Haven't tried any high altitude operation.
