Honda 2200i and 15k AC
I think the planets of Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn were aligned just perfectly or I am just incredibly lucky. 2018 Keystone Bullet with 15k Dometic AC and I installed an older SPP6E capacitor that I...

microair rocks the world
I went with Westinghouse 2500 to gain a little bit more overhead in the same small package.
whatever works best. For me, a generator that is easy to cart around and the microair $300 has worked out well.
Just talked to our RV tech. They've installed the Microair and EasyStart. We plan to do that too to run one AC with our Honda eu2000.
In Idaho you may run into a problem with the 2000. Based on my brothers who lives in souther idao's experience, and mine, with the easy start the 2000 will easily start the AC even in eco mode and then comes the issue. the 2000 runs out of "omph" at about 4000-5000ft on a hot day (6000+ft density altitude). and the easy start will start to cycle the AC on and off. The nice thing it is catches the overload BEFORE the 2000 does so it will shut the AC off for 5 minutes then try a restart. sometimes it keeps running sometimes it shuts off again. Now either of us tried installing the high altitude jets in the 2000, that's worth a try and may solve the problem. Sometimes it would run for 30+ minutes then cycle, sometimes only 10 minutes. depended on altitude and temperature.
He is often camping at 6-7K ft.
I had loaned him one of my 2000's till the 2200's we ordered came in.
What he found is that the honda 2200 will run consistently at 7000+ ft all day long. the few extra watts AND a much larger motor makes a world of difference.
