Honda 6500is question

For Honda 6500is owners only. Can the generator set on eco, will it start the 15000 BTU A/C or do you have to keep it set off and generator at full speed to start it? I know 2 2000 twinned together at 7000 feet must have eco shut off or it cannot start it from a idle. Thanks for the answer.

Hi,

In your shoes I'd look at the Magnum or Victron boost inverters and go with a Yamaha 3000 iSEB.
Regards, Don
My ride is a 28 foot Class C, 256 watts solar, 556 amp-hours of Telcom jars, 3000 watt Magnum hybrid inverter, Sola Basic Autoformer, Microair Easy Start.

I donot own one that is why I'm asking before i buy one. Thats why I'm asking people that own one as they would know for sure. I don't want to spend $4,000 and have to keep it set on high speed all the time so the A/C can cycle on & off as needed. Thanks

I don't have a 6500 but I do have an EU2000i and an EU3000is that I sometime run in parallel. They will start my 15k unit with both in eco mode so I'm sure the with 6500 it should be a very easy.

I don't have a honda but if it won't start it on Eco turn on the toasted or microwave for a few seconds to ramp it up then turn on the AC.
