Window AC project
removed rear window today without breaking it and installed plywood replacement. Next will be bracing and sill on inside before AC can be installed.

I don't think a Honda 1000 will run your AC. On those type of units the start up power needed is usually double the BTU's. So an 800 BTU AC will require 1600 watts of start power. I would also suggest the Honda 2000.
The tag on the ac lists a draw of 4.9 amps but does not differentiate between start up and run. I am surprised how quiet and small a 5000btu unit is today. And I may run a test with the inverter. If it won't operate it then a Honda 1000 probably wouldn't either. Not all that important to me as I usually stay where I can have electric until I get to cooler climate in the summer or warmer in the winter. Last winter I brought the van back from Maine in subfreezing weather and didn't boondock until Georgia.
