More confusion for Inverters?

I have a 2012 Jayco trailer with a 13,500 AC Unit. I will be getting a Generator for powering everything including AC when needed. We tend to camp in the middle of nowhere so I would kind of like to be self sufficient regarding power. We dont use the Mic or TV, basically just a couple of lights and if its hot the AC. I have a Yamaha EF 2400 iSHC Inverter lined up to maybe buy. I believe it will start up the AC but have heard from a couple people stories of under rated inverters running the AC only to find out soon enough that the AC units condensors have given out because of using those Inverters. Any feed back regarding would help my decision.
Many Thanks,

My Yamaha 2800 runs my 15K AC fine. But honestly I would not go any smaller. Look at the Locked amps number on the AC, size the generator to handle that plus. Remember, once you start the generator and connect it, the converter is going to sucking some power, the refer will want to switch to AC.
