Fired up the new generator today, a slightly upgraded version (2200 watt surge vs 2000) to the many that are out there. Let it idle for about 15 minutes, then plugged in RV: carried the converter, lot's of lights, fridge and hot water on electric (although don't know if either was actually cycled on during the test) and a freezer all while at low idle. There are many reports of people using the MicroAir unit to run up to a 15K BTU AC on a 2000W generator, and it had been my intention to put one on the rear (ducted) AC for the very infrequent time I might want AC in a dry camp situation. However I recently read several reports that people were successfully running a 13.5K BTU AC without the MicroAir, so I gave it a try. Turned off the converter breaker, and fired up the AC, started and ran no problem, no overload alarm and voltage holding at 122. For giggles I flipped on the converter, and as expected the generator surged and kicked off.
So, I'm thrilled with this little genny. Will easily run anything I need (with some manual load shedding) and even the AC or dryer if I'm so inclined. Two thumbs up ) )
