Easy start on 2000 watt 13500 btu
I have a predator 2000 watt gen/ inverter I’m going to try and run my 13500 btu rv a/c with a easy start. Think it will work? My a/c also has hard start capacitor. I don’t want to use the parallel ki...

I have a coleman 13.5 and a honda 2000.
At Sea Level, 70 Degrees they work in harmony.
At 95 degrees and 1000' elevation & eco mode off, it'll start and use ever bit of the 2000 watts it can put out for 20 minutes then overload.
At 4000', again, with Eco off, I can start it and get it to run for maybe 10 minutes and overload.
The Easy Start may solve your problem - but you're right at the upper limit of what your generator may do. A 2000 Generator may put it out, but for how long (again, my experience with my honda is it's rated at 2000 watts max, for 20 minutes but sustains 1600Watts continuously.
Oh, I do have a hard start kit on my unit as well.
