Yamaha 2000i's in parallel
HI y'all, I'm new to this site and new to rving. I have a 2016 R Pod and would like to boondock. I bought two Yamaha 2000i's (after a lot of research) to run my TT. They will run my Dometic Penguin...

I have a pair of 2000is and a PI voltage unit. I had the same issue initially with my 15k AC. I installed a $10 hard start capacitor in the AC and everything works fine.
"Works fine" for now but Progressive has offered fair warning that their EMS units are not to be used with the Yamaha EF2000iS. You've not been clear about what you mean by a "PI voltage unit" but if it's one of their EMS units then doing so completely voids the limited lifetime warranty you'd have on that unit. :E JMO, but I'd take that warning to heart and just not use any PI device when running on an EF2000iS. ;)
As an aside I'd sure like to know why the Yamaha EF2000iS's engine is "so much better" than the Honda EU2000i's engine, especially considering the Yamaha's is a significantly smaller displacement engine used to power an inverter that doesn't offer anywhere near the surge capability of the Honda's inverter - 20 sec vs 1/2 hr. :h
