[C320-list] Portable Generators

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Admittedly, being in So Cal, we don't need AC so I can't answer that one...although if I remember correctly, Peter Clancy on Aroban used to run his AC on one....maybe he's lurking and can give his perspective

Is the Honda 2000e strong enough to run a 16,000 BTU air conditioner?

The  2000e fits in the aft starboard lazarette shelf nicely...

Never use the  dc side of the generator to charge your batteries, it will 
take forever and  you can't use the regulating features of your electric  charger.

Also check the size as you will want to store it in one of  the lazeretts.
Also make sure it has the DC as well as the AC capability if  you want to
charge the batteries directly from the generator
