Generator won't run my Coleman Mach 8 Polar Cub
I have the following A/C unit installed on my camper
Coleman Mach 8 Polar Cub (47201A876)
- 9200btu, 11.7 amp on high, 11.2 on low
- low profile
I couldn't find one of the lower draw units so I was hopeful that my little Champion 2000 Inverter generator would run it. No luck, it's not even close really, it goes into overload immediately.
I'm exploring my options now. I carry the generator on a hitch rack on the back that fits under the camper but I don't have much room to fit a larger generator unless I put the camper on a spacer which I don't want to do.
1. Does anyone know if a Hard start capacitor is factory installed in this A/C unit?
2. I think the Honda 2000 will handle a larger startup draw than the Champion, is anyone able to run this mode of A/C with the Honda.
3. I am considering moving up to the 3100 generator, it's about 2" taller but maybe I can take the wheels off ot make it lower.
