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 routinely aka four or five days a week, even at 95+
Turn the a/c to fan for 5 minutes to bake a potato
If i only want bacon or warm up some coffee or bread
I use the inverter to power the mw, no need to switch the a/c
The converter supplies supplemental power to batteries and inverter
With out overloading the generator
Doing this pulls about 55 amp discharge rate from the batteries while using the inverter plus charging, versus 120 amp discharge with inverter only late at night no generator
Any body with a good stand alone inverter big enough for their MW can do the same thing with a 2000w generator
Let the generator charge the batteries at Max available and run the mw from inverter and batteries
Yes you are pulling power from the batteries, this extends the run time recharge by whatever amount of power was pulled from the batteries
In my case with a PD70 converter that's only a few more minutes not really noticed
Now i would have to be really desperate to try this with the a/c
Because of the heavy continued battery discharge
And when the batteries got low it would all shut off anyway, but my generator carry the a/c or the MW, just not both at the same time all by it self
But i think PT has done it a few times on weak shore power
Then let the batteries recharge at night
