was quite amazed. I'm not saying this will work for any ac in any condition but if you already own a 2400 yam don't assume it won't run your 15000 ac.
I am not so amazed... Here is an interesting factoid.
My 50 amp RV came with two A/Cs. both carrier Air V, both 13,500 BTU, both draw 13.5 amps running, I have verified by testing with clamp on ammeter.
Well due to faulty workmanship one failed, out of warranty and Carrier no longer does RV A/C.. So I replace it with an advent air 15,000 BUT, Which, today I am truly enjoying (I could use even more BTUs.
The Advent air also draws.. running.. the very same 13.5 amps
Yes, more cold, same power.. newer A/Cs are more efficient as they improve the design.. So your 2014 may well draw even less power than my 2012 (but not likely) advent air..
