9200 ac
i'm getting alot of info saying that coleman doesnt make the polar cub (the one that draws only 8.5amp anymore, so if the "new" 9200 models draw 11.5amps and the honda eu2000i is rated for 13.3amps. a...

I m in the same boat
My honda manual says rated amp=13.3
rated output = 1600VA
max out put = 2000VA
amps = watts divided by volts
2000 div by 120 = 16.666
That would be for short bursts
It would start and run using those numbers , but not probably in eco mode , not probably running a converter , not probably at elevation , might be a problem with compresser head pressue at restart
I dont have a newer cub , but dont want to buy one to see if it works
Its clear to me its not going to work as older polar cubs Ive had did
If I had a popup and higher profile was a concern I would buy a new PC and a bigger gen
I dont and I own a honda 2000 so Im going with the mach 1 ps
The only reason I didnt buy one last spring was I found out Coleman was changing the compressor to one that draws .2 amps less, and I was waiting for it to come out, I`ll have one before summer
I checked around and thats the lowest amp rooftop AC made that I found
I hear some are made for semi`s but are very expensive
Ive also been keeping an eye on craigs list and have looked at recyclers
I guess theres a chance some distributer has a dusty 9201 on the shelf , I dont know if they could sell it since it has old non epa freon
I have expressed my desire to RVP Coleman that they make a low profile ,low amp Ac again. Seems like since they have compressors that draw 6.6 amps as in the mach 1 they could do it , maybe if they heard there was more intrest from tc owners
