Question:
Will a 2,800 Honda inverter generator power my travel trailer air conditioner with a 20.8 twist plug
asked by: Phil T
Expert Reply:
No, RV air conditioners typically require a starting wattage around 3,200 watts or more. You would want a generator like the 4,500-Watt Portable RV Generator - 3,600 Running Watts - Propane or Gas - Electric Start # 333-0005 to power your air conditioner. This dual fuel generator can easily start and run a pair of 15,000 Btu RV air conditioners. Using gas or propane, it provides power to run appliances and electronics inside your RV. Simple, push button electric start. Includes hose for propane use.
