My 2KW Honda generator will not run my 13,500 BBTU air conditioner. I got it started once in doing the fan first and switching to compressor. Did ok then but when it cycled the next time it tripped out.
I see the YAMAHA 2400i specs says it puts out 120VAC at 16.7AMPS so I guess that is the big difference. My 2KW Honda EU2000i says it puts out 120VAC at 13.3AMPS.
I too think I will replace my off-road 13,500 Air Conditioner with a 9200BTU model if it fails. I never knew an exact RV trailer replacement 9200BTU model existed until a couple of weeks ago. As little as I use my 13,500 model the 9200 model would be great for me and i would able to run it with my 2KW honda just fine. I have already ran a 8000BTU house window unit in my trailer... My 13,500 model really sticks up high on my trailer roof.
