Yamaha 2000i's in parallel
HI y'all, I'm new to this site and new to rving. I have a 2016 R Pod and would like to boondock. I bought two Yamaha 2000i's (after a lot of research) to run my TT. They will run my Dometic Penguin...

Any suggestions?
You haven't indicated whether you may also be running some make / model of EMS or surge protection device BUT whether you are or not you might want to be aware of this warning from Progressive Industries regarding the Yamaha EF2000iS genset.
Progressive Industries EF2000iS Disclaimer
What caught my eye is this key statement - "Please be advised the Yamaha Generator Model EF2000iS does not generate enough start-up current which causes the unit to overload. The generator then puts out non-true Sine Wave power." That suggests to me there could be other occasions during the genset's process of ramping up or ramping down in speed when the output signal is not consistently sine wave either. If so, perhaps your A/C is not reacting well to this brief moment of "non-true sine wave power".
Secondly, do you know or have you checked to see if your A/C is equipped with a hard start capacitor which will ease start up load regardless of whether the power source is shore power or from a generator? :@ I've installed a Supco SPP6 on my previous Coleman Mach 3+ and my current Dometic Brisk II A/Cs and in both cases getting the compressor to ramp up to speed was much improved.
