Do these guys do a complete end to end system including compressor etc? MicroAir

with AC you have 2 different types in truck camper world. Most have controls on the Roof AC unit. with them fan runs all the time AC is on and compressor cycles by Thermostat.
than you have the type where the AC cycles on and off by thermostat on wall and both compressor and fan shut off when thermostat turns off AC.
Some of these soft start systems are made so they will first start the compressor, than the fan so you have 2 smaller startup events instead of starting both compressor and fan at same time.
as far as fumes, new generators are also regulated by EPA and should not stink up the place.
and keep in mine if your in a state/national park, your probably going to have rules telling you to turn the AC off my a certain time every night anyway, so you will have plenty of time to cool it off and lock it up before bed time.
I have an extended run kit for my Honda 2000. since this Honda has a fuel pump you can do this. This kit is special gas cap for the honda that is setup for a standard outboard house with pump ball and a outboard fuel tank.(I have 3 gallons plus 1 in the generator). 1 gallon will run my 2000 (with 9000K AC cycling on and off) for 6-8 hours
