I had them install the 11BTU AC on my Mammoth, and it runs fine off the Powerhouse 2200/2100 generator.

I also had them install a Progressive EMS-HW30C so I also would not blow things up if I connected to bad power.
I'd recommend a better fan in the bathroom vent, but what they install is OEM Fantastic Fan, and it's not that hard to retro-fit after the fact, and you get to pick a better fan..
I had them install Seelevel gauges, but I had to buy them and the EMS, and ship them up.
