Watts don't mean beans, it's all about VA which is what the eu2000i is rated in. When running from the eu2000i and supplying 65 DC amps, my PD9160A draws 1386 VA (actual measured values). Using a straight proportion supplying 80 DC amps would require 1706 VA. The 1.1 amp fridge adds another 132 VA for 1838 VA. Guess it's possible in generator-friendly conditions, but you've got to be right on the edge. My eu2000i maxes out at around 1,900 VA at low altitudes and reasonable temperatures. I've seen several other users report the same thing.

Love Rathtrevor, especially during the herring run. However, it looks like the fridge was the culprit and you should have been on LP for fridge. Fisherguy runs his 9280 with an H2000, but that maxes it out AFAIK.

There's your problem Mike! It was plugged up with excess electrons. Running the ham gear cleared them out. :B

You know that a regular RV fridge doesn't have a compressor. If there is a heavy starting load you must be talking about a home style fridge.

UPDATE!!!!!
So, I used Lil Red On Sunday (June 09th) as the power supply for my portable radio station. I was Net Control for the 2013 Edge-To-Edge Marathon held that day (race goes from Tofino to Ucluelet). The total load on the genny was 2 laptop power bricks, 1 LCD monitor, 1 MobiCool (powered cooler) power brick, and 1 intelligent 30Amp battery charger. Lil Red ran from just after 0700hrs to about 1530hrs without refueling (I had fueled her up prior to departing for my station's location). I had no issues at all with the Eco-Throttle - Lil Red held a constant RPM the whole day.
So, I don't know what the issue was originally with Lil Red constantly changing RPMs on the Eco-Throttle, but whatever it was, it appears to have cleared itself. I still think it was water getting somewhere it shouldn't be.
Cheers to all!!
Mike

Was this a 2000i genny? Some on here will tell you it will never run a 75amp+ converter but we know they are wrong.
