But now there are the power saving AC units from Coleman and Dometic that drop the running current by several amps, very likely enough to use one honda 2000 even at 5000ft or so. I've run a coleman power cub with a 10A running current for hours on end at 8000ft with no problems on the honda 2000.
Coleman Mach 3 P.S. compared to Coleman Mach 3 Plus ... same cooling ability but much lower continuous draw for the former would make powering this unit with a 2K genset much easier. :B
My small trailer has a coleman polar cub. 9,000BTU and it draws 9 amps max. Also has a much better start circuit with LRA around 30A. It starts and runs fine at 7000+ ft with my honda 2000, so the MachIII PS would likely run fine with the 2000 as well. Looks like the MachIII PS still has a pretty high LRA so starting may not be as easy, but the micro air fixes that.
