Honda EU2000i or A/C issue. Help
I bought a 2007 Outfitter Apex 8 about a month ago. Last week I got a new Honda EU2000i so I can run my A/C on the Texas Beach. I've only been able to get the A/C to start 1 time out of 20 tries. It's...

Butch, if he says that the AC runs off of shore power, how does your example of the battery / converter draw apply? Same voltage being applied in both cases, no?
I don't understand your question? If you are saying that when hooked to shore power or generator are the same voltage that is true BUT amperage is not the same. If running off a 30 amp circuit and all he gets in normal operation is the around 13 amps from the generator he sure doesn't need to have any of that 13 amps going to replenish the batteries that the 12VDC fridge is using. I believe that the 12VDC fridges draw a little over 2 amps. Now if the fridge is running than is not that amperage being supplied back to the batteries by the converter via the generator? All I'm saying is when he is running his generator and if the batteries are being charged to supply power for his 12VDC fridge then his generator is providing power to both the converter and the AC is this not true? I was suggesting that be sure that he has a way to keep the converter from drawing power from the generator to charge batteries when he is trying to run the AC unit.
Hope that makes sense.:)
ON EDIT: Specularius, that is what I was trying to say but you said it in fewer words than I did, thanks.
