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.

  • Honda and Yahama 2K inverter gens have long been the gold standard. Champion is gaining a great reputation, but is still pretty new to the inverter market.

    Any 2 K ought to be able to start a 8K Btu unit, I'd try to find one to test with.

  • i don't know about Canada or Colorado
    but here in So Calif
    there is no camp site that cost less per day than my generator fuel
    even the forest CGs i use will cost as much or more per day as my generator fuel (and no hook ups)
    and the combined cost is still cheaper than going to the state run beach campground or a private owned RV resort
  • Hi,

    It is often cheaper to go to an inexpensive campsite than to run a generator. That said an 8000 btu unit may be run on a 2000 watt generator. Champion is the best bang for the buck.
