inverter generator for gulfstream 198bh
I just bought a new amerilite bunk house and it has a Fridgidair 8000 btu air conditioner. Can I get opinions and advice on buying an inverter generator to get this ac compressor up and running.

I received the Westinghouse wh2400i via ups and tried it on my trailer. First off I would like to say that this gene seems well put together and strong and sturdy. Started on the second pull and has been running great for 7 hours off and on.
So this gene ran everything in my trailer including the a.c. The microwave bogged the gene down a little but didn't over load it and the a.c. ran with the microwave off. The a.c. and microwave running together might have overloaded it but I didn't try the two at the same time. The a.c. had to be slowly raised from low thru it's different cool settings little by little over time other wise it overloaded the gene (I tried to go straight to high cool and 7, the highest of the cool settings 1-7) and it set the overload switch to red and I had to turn the a.c. back down, hit the reset button and start over, this time stepping up every few mins and it worked fine like that.
All in all, im happy with it, now let's just see how long it lasts.
