Professor95. I plugged a 1400 watt coffee pot and an 1800 watt hair dryer into the above mentioned generator no problems, just a slight increase in engine rpm. My rv is a brand new 2006 25.5 ft. prowler with a 13,500 btu RVP series 8000 a/c unit. The compressor on the a/c unit has a LRA of 54 amps. Does that mean I have to have a surge rating of 6,000 watts to get the a/c unit to even start? 54 * 110 = 5,940. If so does anyone else out there have the same problem getting thier a/c units to start? It is starting to appear that I maybe under powered. Any thoughts?
