Honda EU3000IS/15kColeman AC?

Helping a friend of mine set up a new car hauler.Should a Honda EU3000IS generator have any problem running a new Coleman Mach 15 15000 btu roof ac unit?
  • If that's all that is running, should not be a problem. Good for 23.3 amps peak load, maybe a bit more. You may want to be sure no other loads are Ono it, and that Eco throttle is off. Main issue is starting the compressor. Any other loads planned?
  • I have a 8,ooo btu and was using my friends eu3000 and several times I thought it was going to stall it out in the middle of the night. The generator was just on the other side of my wall and I remember it making the hesitation/about to stall noise many times. Having said that, it did run my ac and lights most of the time without tripping its breakers.
    If your going to make a purchase of an eu3000 I would borrow one and try it first. When I was making a purchase the dealer offered to let me bring my rv and try it out first.
  • It runs my 15K AC just fine simultaneously with the fridge and ceiling fan
