Ran our cabin off it for years and now parell it with another to run the ac on my trailer. Guessing into the thousands for hours and still runs great. Had to clean out the jets once but extremely easy to get at the carb on these Hondas. Not the cheapest but very reliable and they hold their value. --- End quote --- Thats why I bought mine. I figured the cost was worth it because they would last as long as me as long as I took care of them. Being quiet was important to me. |

AC takes a fair bit to start up and is an inductive load, if I was wanting to run it on a regular basis I would be looking at a generator probably double the running power of the ac. Refrigerant compressors have to overcome pretty substantial head pressure to get running, especially when it's hot which is when you use them. 2200 W may or may not start it, depending on what the trip limits for the generator are. You could always look at the starting ratings on the ac or take a peek at the locked rotor current on the compressor. |

My ac on my rv takes 25 amps to start then goes down below 20 when running. |

look up a micro-air easystart soft start, now my little honda starts/runs the ac in my rv just fine |

I doubt if the AC unit in a 15' RV draws much power. But you don't have to guess. Get yourself one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Consumption-Electricity-Analyzer-Overload-Protection/dp/B07M9KJRKP/ref=asc_df_B07M9KJRKP/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309806250188&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2522764980811137793&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033394&hvtargid=pla-618274191509&psc=1 plug it in and turn everything on and see what your peak and sustained draw is. No need to get more generator than you need, especially if weight is a concern. |
