IT'S A MIRACLE! 13.5AC on EU2000i Generator!
I have a Forest River 19RR with a 13.5 AC unit. I want to be able to run the AC on one Honda EU2000i generator in ECO mode. Currently, when the temperature is above 85 degrees, it takes two EU2000 ...

Regarding higher altitudes use of a Honda 2000i when pushing it - as in trying to run RV air conditioners - aren't you supposed to install different jets at those higher altitudes to keep the fuel-air ratio optimized ... which in turn should help sustain power a bit better?
The above isn't talked about much. FWIW, my Onan starts and runs at higher altitudes as is ... but it does have a convenient twist knob with altitude points on the dial that I probably should be using. Why doesn't Honda add that capability to their inverter portables?
My opinion, that is an excellent argument for buying the higher priced inverter gens as I do believe the Honda's, Yamaha's have high altitude jets available for purchase. I have the 2000W Champions running in parallel and those do not have high altitude jets available which is a reason this MicroAir is also appealing for my situation. I have read some versions of the Champion inverter gens have high altitude jets available but don't quote me on that as I've not confirmed those exist for sale.
I live at 8000' and frequently go to places where I'm boodocked at 9,500'. Replaceable jets should have been something on my radar and if I were making that decision today, it would be different. Fortunately, running AC at 9,500' is not something that has to be done much at all, but it can happen.
I do understand I, and few others, are in a bit of a unique situation which is such a low percentage of overall inverter gen consumers.
