Hi, All I was Cabelas yesterday at the Hamburg, Pa . Store and they had 5 parallel power kits for 95.00. They are in the bargain cave. You might want to check...
While that is a much more realistic price then what the kit normally goes for you can still build one yourself for about $50. Steve Urban Semper Fi! EBR#0692 ...
I just bought a EU2000i Saturday from Northern Tool and Equipment ($850 after tax, on sale). Anyway I tried to get it to start my 12,000 BTU AC window unit. It...
John: I think there's a good chance it will start the 8k btu... Make sure, at first, the Eco throttle is NOT engaged to see if the eu2000 can handle the a/c. ...
I just went ahead and bought the honda cable with the banana plugs on it ans spliced in 30AMP RV plug and box. I could not find the shrouded banana plugs...
The number of BTU's is a poor indicator if your EU2000i will start or run your the AC. The number of Watts required for startup and then to keep it running is...
Can't tell you with this information. You need to get the starting watts of the AC, or get the voltage and amperage first. ________________________________ ...
John, From all I've read, I also think there's a good chance the 8000 BTU unit will be OK. But if there is a problem, there are "soft-start" kits available ...
It's been a while since I looked at the parallel cords for the EU1000 (commonly called "cheater" cords), but if I recall correctly they are not 10 gauge wire....
It may not list the starting watts, but it may list the "locked rotor amps" which is the absolute maximium it can ever draw. It only draws this for a fraction...
The soft start kits I've seen for RV's are a bigger capacitor (provides a bigger kick to get the compressor moving from a dead stop), and a time delay relay to...
No, it is not blowing the breaker. It is just going into overload for a few seconds and then shutting down. Does anyone have an 8000 or more BTU AC that is...

... My camper came with a 6500 BTU window unit. It's inrush current was 27 amps. My EU2000 had a hard time with this unit. I replaced it with a 5500 BTU...
I run a 11,500 with no problem on the 2000i ... From: Hunt, John To: Honda_EU2000_Generators@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 5:46 PM Subject: RE:...
John, For what it is worth. I am also in Texas and have a mobile repair shop and have a pair of EU2000's for power but have had success using only one EU2000...

I am no expert, but I have a suspicion. Some EU2000s might run an AC unit IF THE RV BATTERY IS FULLED CHARGED. But, if the battery is down, the extra load from...
Is there an aluminum box for the rear hitch of a 5W that holds 2 EU2000i and has vents? I see there is a $4,000 Onan genset unit out there now, but it seems a...
dave, I checked into this place tht claims to have a box for Hondas. They were in the process of getting pictures on their website of a box for an EU3000....
... Yes, that was an aggrivating factor in my case as well. For the first hour at least I had trouble with the AC while the camper was charging. Later things...
... Some convertors can be adjusted to a lower charge rate. My Xantrex overloaded my 2000 Honda at the startup and I got a remote Xantrex control panel and...
John: Eco (for Economy) mode runs the genset at idle until something calls for power, then it speeds up to just enough rpm to provide the power needed. For...
That's a great point Ken. So far none of us has even addressed the other loads that occur in a trailer in addition to the massive load from the A/C at startup....
I have no problem running my 13.5 BTU DuoTherm RV AC on the EU2000, even in 105 degree weather. Some newer ACs don't draw as many amps. If someone's...
On my camper I can't start the AC or even run my microwave with the converter on. I didn't think to turn it off and see what happens. I'll have to give it a...
