Rover,
Is that 350W measured or a plate rating?
That's measured. And backed by one other buyer on Amazon who measured the same draw on his unit. As I mentioned, it's the lowest I was able to find in a month or two of scouring the internet and emailing manufacturers in china (I was planning on designing and building a small capacity roof unit, but I couldn't find anyone who could meet a reasonable power draw... some were quoting me 700W for 5000BTU! You may as well just buy a Coleman 10,000+BTU unit at that point cause you'll need a big generator anyways.)
Thank you, I am also looking for the smallest draw possible with A/C.
I see you removed the water heater to accomplish carrying the small generator. If you would like some hot water, you could make a storage container on the roof and the Sun will heat that water. Some folks use a black ABS pipe for this and there are off-the-shelf camping shower systems that are available. With a few gallons of hot water, you could at least enjoy a hot shower.
Good luck with your camper!
