signman,

This is the Coleman Polar Cub 9200 that I purchased, from Adventure RV in Seveirville,TN, in July 2013 and it appears to still be available. I power it with my Honda 2000 genny.

The specs on the site says; "Approximate full load amps - cooling - 11.1 amps". If you are using your Honda 2000 to run the A/C, then obviously the Polar Cub and Honda are still a match.

Yes they are Wayne. This combo was operated at 8,200 ft. elev. in the Bighorn Mtns; in Wyoming this summer. The new AC was installed two weeks earlier and my 2000 is ten yrs. old and it is far from worn out.

Now, I will throw this into the equation...I don't run the genny in "eco" mode and I switch off the TC power converter and I start the AC in fan only mode for approx. a minute before switching to cool mode.

Obviously you can't run the microwave or a toaster while running the AC.....I believe that this should be plain old common sense.

Regardless of how some wanna crunch the spec. numbers, I have no reason to fabricate the info that I have just provided.....it just flat works. Others, with this same setup, also know that it works.

I like to read and provide accurate info on this site.

Gotta remember to turn off your converter if your batteries are low!
Many folks forget about this! A 45 amp converter will add another 500+watts if the batteries are down...

And there is one more thing: Switch your fridge to gas mode.
Most of our fridges will pull 300+watts when cooling!

So right there is the possibility of 800watts before you even try to fire up the AC...
