OP here. Learned a lot about inrush current/LRA in the last 6 years. Discovered start capacitors (with or without a PTCR) can potentially lower an RV a/c compressor's LRA about 3-5%. A Micro Air Easy Start (not available back in 2014) can lower a typical 55-70a RV a/c compressor's LRA as much as 50-60%---*huge* performance advantage vs. a standard start capacitor! Discovered paralleling two Honda EU2x00i's does double the continuous current output, but only increases the inrush current output about 10%. A whole lot cheaper (and a whole lot more effective) to purchase a $250-$300 Micro Air Easy Start vs. a $1000 2nd Honda to help reliably start an RV a/c.
