Air Conditioner
I just installed a Coleman Mach 8 9,200 BTU AC unit on my Northern Lite truck camper. The camper was prep'd for ac from the factory. The front of ac unit is fastened to the roof at the former roof hat...

Off topic questions: Will a single Honda 2000i generator start and run the air conditioner the OP is installing?
From the Spec sheet. Cooling the compressor requires 8.9 amps, and the high I.D. motor (fan) is 1.2. A total (maximum) of 10.1 amps. The specs say O.D. motor is 1.6. I don't know what the O.D. motor is.
The Honda 2000 output is 13.3 amps, from the spec sheet. So, that leaves you with about 3.2 amps to spare.
I have a Polar Cub which requires a maximum of 9 amps. The Honda runs the Cub just fine. I run the Honda in the Eco mode.

Thanks Wayne - a Polar Cub would very likely be enough in my Snowbird 810 - I don't use it in temps much above 90F...at 3500 - 5000 ft
