The thing missing from this thread that didn't exist is the MicroStart technology - which didn't exist in 2014 and does now.
While I've not added one in lieu of my Supco unit - all the folks on this site speak favorably about it.
One thing to remember, as temperature climbs, so does the demand for electricity (in terms of Amp draw).
Generators lose 10% of their available output every 1000'.
Increase the temperature, and elevation and you're losing the ability to provide enough energy to drive the AC unit.
I'm not sure how the Microstart can (or does) mitigate that lower power output from the generator due to elevation and increase demand from the compressor due to temperature increase.
