Looks like a second generator would be needed, one for the A/C and one for everything else. Or, power the camper from a single Honda 3000 instead.
I stand corrected sir, at extreme outside temps the AC will pull 200-250 watts more than at 65*, sorry if I mislead anyone.

16.7 max and 13.3 run is what im seeing on a 2000w Honda, is this correct.
I used a much less expensive Generac 4000 and it powered my 13.5 Btu A/C, microwave and the rest of the camper. It is loud, but then again, so are all the dirt bikes, atv's, buggies and desert trucks that are used in the areas I camped in.
