Ok lets just end the generator thing now. I had a motor home for 15 years and they require 4K for the 12,000Btu Coleman air. I now have a hand me down Honda 3500 and it will just barely pull my AC and water pump besides it is loud. I thought since it was water cooled and looks much smaller that I could pull it easy, but not good enough to mess with. Now 3 weeks ago a slip neighbor with a 2000 C320 bought the 2 Honda's 2000 ui and connector set and it pulls his AC. They are very quiet and will probably run about 4 hours on a tank. Note he did install a co2 sensor and it went off the first time he spent the night, but I don' t know where he had them setting.
