Ok, there is a huge information disconnect with the OP. No one is suggesting that one Honda 2000 WILL run your AC all the time. For reliable operation yes you should parallel them. This is entirely different than the issue of using a 15/20 amp shore power plug to run the air.
If you purchased the generators to run you AC at home and not install a 30 amp 120 volt rv plug you spent too much. If you purchased them to run the AC while camping just figure out what other items are on in the RV and turn them off while running the AC.
Thank you :) Guess you summed it all up. I feel as though I keep hearing from people saying it worked for them and not from anyone saying WHY i am being told NOT TO DO what worked for them?Only the positives and none of the negatives assocaited with it. I have been hiding out researching this entire issue AGAIN and am STILL being told two 2000 or 3000 for ac usage.
Lets be clear. I bought the two generators for when I am on the road of course. I would never have bought them to hang at the house OR to hang at friends and relatives. We are recent full timers. Now, with that said, lets be clear again, not all, fact probably NONE of these friends or relatives are going to have an extra 30 amp service lying around on the off chance an RV friend were to visit.
So YES, hanging at the house OR hanging at friends houses for weeks at a time, equals the exact same thing, running the generators, as I am now, when outlets abound, to use the AC, not wanting to trip their breakers, having them run out and scream I interrupted their late night movie...
I do think the subject matter swung off base. That always happenes anyway on any forum :))). So I have learned that maybe I can shut these bad babies off NOW and go back to an outlet when weather didn't require the AC as it has in the last couple days?
OR/ AND
At night, when its all off inside the trailer and I am sleeping, can I REALLY cut off one of them off and use only one to JUST run the AC?
Up until this thread, I have been told NO I CANNOT. That true? Regardless, I won't regret buying two of them ever. Obviously I can power the whole trailer with the AC running, so it's STILL the way to go.
