A buddy of mine was telling me just today how well his Yamaha 2400 runs his 13.5K AC. It only slightly comes off idle to do so.
Anecdotal testimonials are meaningless without including the make / model of genset, A/C, and the conditions under which both were operating, including ambient temperature and elevation. I could easily start & run my hard start equipped Coleman Mach 3+ A/C with my Honda EU2000i which was running non-ethanol gas and synth oil as long as temps were under 85F and elevation was close to sea level ... but at higher temps when A/C would be really beneficial or at higher elevations the load imposed by the A/C was just too much for that genset. Powering my current Dometic Brisk II was even more difficult under similar conditions simply because the specific requirements of the Dometic vs the Coleman were different.
Conditions: outside temp = 85+
elevation = 1200+ yesterday also tested also at 2400ft and worked like a charm
non-ethanol fuel, regular yamaha genset lube oil from mfg
This animal is the real deal. The smoothness of the startup is impressive, and the way the compressor comes on when it kicks in is uncanny. Tried to measure the drop in system-wide voltage and could not. I will be travelling from Sandpoint, ID to Baja during the next few months, thru AZ & NM, so if anyone wants to see the real deal, feel free to contact me and stop by to take a look, if you're on the way.
