2014 Laredo 24MK TT. A/C on generator power.
We purchased this used 4 years ago, and love it.
Last week for the first time we camped in a site without electricity.
We purchased a 2200 watt Honda invertor generator, easy start, quiet, lightweight, runs like a charm.
The A/C unit is a Coleman 3500 BTU, and the manual stated it draws 1685 running watts (if my memory serves), but nothing about starting watts.
Just to see, we turned the A/C unit on while generator ran, not in ECO mode. The A/C started and ran fine, fan ran, cooled our little camper down just fine. Ran it about 10 minutes, no fuses
blown in camper or generator.
Is this too good to be true? Could I damage the A/C unit or the Honda?
