Currently I can run my Coleman mach air conditioning unit in my truck camper off just one yamaha 2000 watt generator but it's not happy about it and from the sound I can tell it's maxed out.
You haven't indicated which size of A/C you have but if it's the most common 13,500 BTU A/C your EF2000iS should easily
run this A/C, even in ECO mode, just as will a Honda EU2000i with which I'm more familiar since I've owned 2 of them. The question isn't whether it will
run the A/C but whether it will repeatedly
start the A/C's compressor when conditions become difficult - i.e. temps above 85F and significantly higher elevation where the air is thinner. To accomplish this most would have recommended either a larger 3K+ genset
or a pair of 2Ks paralleled together. Now it seems neither is no longer necessary - just install a soft starter such as the
Micro-Air Easy Start Soft Starter Kit on your A/C and just one 2K should easily start it with no difficulty at all ... a solution that's certainly much simpler and MUCH cheaper than running two 2K gensets paralleled together. :B
