GENERATOR to run your A/C
I posted this here because I'd imagine the pop-up campers would have the smallest A/Cs. What size generator is required to run your small A/C ?

No guarantee a popup will have a smaller air/con...it's a smaller volume but worse insulation...probably more important, units bought in bulk likely would see no cost savings to the manufacturer by going lower BTU.
We have a Yamaha 2400 that will run out 15k BTU air/con but it's marginal. If it was a smaller 5-9k BTU, a 2000w unit (typically 1600w continuous rating) might do the trick.
Really you need to find the specs on the unit you are looking at both running and startup load. If it's the startup load that's the problem they have capacitor systems that help reduce it.
