So asking here in case somebody knows right off about the starter options, before I dig into it (lazy!). I assume she needs about a 3000w gen based on how we needed our Honda EU3000i for the 5er a/c we had.
First, the EU3000i will be retired this year. It will be replaced by a new model with 3200W peak power and only slightly larger than the current EU2200i. Electric start will not be available in order to keep the weight and size closer to the EU2200i.
The ultimate in "lazy man" boonbock A/C is a lithium battery bank and an inverter/charger/automatic transfer switch. If your on shore power, everything just works. If the batteries are fully charged, everything will also just work.
Charge the batteries in the AM. If you do this, you can get away with a 2000W generator.
Install a MicroAir EasyStart on the A/C.
