Easy start on 2000 watt 13500 btu

[Traveling_Teach]

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 kit every time I need a/c. Thanks for any advice.

The hard start will have to come out for the easy start.

My 2500 doesn't even blink at my 15k A/C with an easy start.

likely will start it. honda 2000 will do it just fine even in eco mode . the bigger question is what altitude are you expecting to run it at? Honda 2000 will overload at about 4000ft at higher temps and cut out after 5-15 minutes. Honda 2200 will start and run my coleman mach 3 all day at 7500ft.
At 4000ft the honda 2200 runs at about 3/4 throttle and has about 300W of reserve.

It's going to work that gen to death.

What is the elevation and temperature?

I have a 2000 Wen and a 13,500, with hard start cap. It starts it fine, the first time. When it tries to cycle it overloads and goes into limp mode.I was looking at $3xx for an easy start and about $450 for another gen, I'll go with the second generator and parralel kit. I don't see it as smart to push a genny that hard and kill it early. You are planning on running it at max capacity non stop for how long ? Might want to re think how much hassle it is to parralel 2 2000's

I don't have a clue if it will work, but ISTR on here reading that even if it does work the first time or two, the a/c sort of builds up resistance to restarting when cycling on and off. If that is true ???? you could be fooled if it runs ok the first time.

Try it and see.
