9,200 BTU AC and 2000 watt genny

Hmmm, when did they stop production on the "Polar Cub"? Bought mine new last July. Maybe a left over? It also isn't the very newest super energy efficient model either I guess. But, for us anyway, it works just fine. Hate it when something is affordable, works well, then is abruptly discontinued. Big sigh.

We both have camplites , do you have the Coleman Mach AC? I want to stay light weight with genny and don't mind not running stuff along with a genny. I also assume we have same converter also. I guess I don't want to spend a bunch of money especially when it will be used sporically. We have a huge generator here at home we use during hurricane season if needed, that thing is loud and HEAVY! DH always checks our battery in camper before we head out someplace, just in case it needs charging. So that is done and really no need to charge battery with genny. I will quit rambling now....

Depend largely on what year Polar cub your talking about
The " Polar Cub " is not made anymore
Check the amps of the model your able to get now

Be safe get YAMAHA 2400 :B :B

We also have the 9200 Polar Cub Mach AC and a Honda 2000. It runs the AC pretty much anywhere just fine and our LED lighting and short time water pump But NOT that and the microwave at the same time for more than a couple minutes before the warning comes on the generator. Run the fridge on propane at those times and water heater is manual gas. The TV and satellite receiver don't seem to bother it at the Dame time as the AC either. As we don't have a battery to charge or inverter to run there isn't as much draw. The Honda starts at 2000w but runs at 1600 to 1800 so watch those numbers. It's really not that big a deal to turn off the AC for a couple minutes to do something else that requires more power. At least not to us.

I have the mach cub and run it with a Honda 2000.

She is right. If the battery is super low the converter can use half the available power. Solution is to let the battery charge for an hour then start the air conditioner. Any other high draw item such as electric water heat, microwave, hair drier used with the air conditioner may overload the generator.

I can run the Polar Cub 9200 ac on my Honda 2000 with a couple of lights on, fridge on propane and nothing else running and have done so at 8000 feet. however that is an older model AC not a Mach model
