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 ...

I read so much about elevation affecting generator performance, that made a test with my Honda. Mind it is Honda EU3000, but I had 2+ years old gasoline in it, so it took some choke to make it running and a try in Las Vegas killed the generator on ECO mode.
So next we drive to North Rim and camp at 8800' elevation. Night was nice, but in the morning just for the test I started generator, used coffee espresso and then tried my AC on Eco mode.
NO PROBLEM
Now proceed with the REAL test.
Try running the AC (and all the other parasitic loads) at 8800 feet at +100 degrees F in the afternoon/evening when you really need it. You may get the AC to start but my bet is that you'll be doing constant load management to KEEP it running reliably. That's not something I'm interested in doing all day long but, . . . YMMV.
