However, let's give lawrosa some credit for taking the time to provide more realworld operating info than the majority of posts here.lawrosa wrote:Unfortunately your results are also irrelevant without also offering details about elevation, outside ambient temperature, whether the A/C in question is or is not equipped with a hard start cap, even fan speed plays a role. I too can successfully start my hard start equipped 13.5K BTU Dometic Brisk II with my EU2000i but that too is meaningless when the elevation here isn't much above sea level and ambient temps are significantly lower now that we're well into fall. :( In the heat of summer when it's really humid and ambient temps are well into the 90s and therefore when I'd most want to run A/C there's no way my EU2000i will start this A/C. :(
Well I took some readings.. This honda 200 starts the 13.5 duo therm A/C no problem..
If one picks the right 13.5k BTU a/c, one EU2000i is capable of providing suitable, reliable power to keep an RV'rs TT cool---with the Eco mode on. As for all this doomsday talk of an EU2000i failing at elevation or high ambient temps, I've seen two, paralleled Honda EU2000i's, open-frame 4000w generators, and 50kw commercial generators fail under extreme conditions. Everything has a breaking point.
If one takes the time to properly match components in any given system, sometimes it's surprising what can be accomplished.
In any case, if you read my previous post in this thread I give all the "relevant" detail you requested to clarify my position about the EU2000i.
