would be nice if rooftop RV AC units were around 15 or so, with decently low LRA so they would easily start and run on a 2Kwatt inverter generator. Best rooftops I've seen are still around 10A vs. 13 or so.
Microsair EasyStart solves that problem !
There is no proprietary technology in an EasyDtart, so why don't all RV A/C units have this. Only a couple of $ to build it in ?
Mostly. While the easy start makes it no problem to start the AC on a 2Kw generator, see what happens around 4-6K ft altitude. Many of the 2000VA generators run out of steam by that altitude on a hot day and will overload.
Our Honda 2000 would as would my brothers. However, the honda 2200 has not problem even at 8000ft. the 25% larger motor lets it develop the full rated power at high altitude.
