Well, as it turned out, the two EU2000i's paralleled would not start this same 13.5k BTU a/c with the ECO mode on---discovered the Champion 3100 produces more inrush current than two EU2000i's paralleled (with the ECO mode on and off).NinerBikes wrote:This is a very good point.

Might just be easier/cheaper to pair another Honda Eu2000i with cables to run the A/C, both of them in Eco mode. Or a Yamaha EF2400Is model, solo.
The Champion 3100 with the ECO mode on (which results in a reduction in sound level when the a/c compressor turns off) ended up being quieter, less irritating, overall (IMO), than the two EU2000i's running full-throttle continuously with the ECO mode off.
