This is a crop and chop of the Dometic model and load chart for everything from the 7,100 BTU to the 15,000 BTU. IMHO, it is extremely doubtful that a 1,600 watt inverter generator producing 13 to 15 amps is going to run a 13,500 BTU A/C. LRC (Locked Rotor Current) on start-up is high on all models and the inverter is incapable of providing that much amperage even for the 1/5th of a second needed no matter how large the capacitors are.
A 2,000/1,600 watt inverter might run a 7,100 BTU A/C OK. Dometic says 2.5KW MINIMUM for the 7,100 and 3.5KW for the 11,000 on up.
