Success! - Honda EU2000i & 11k Dometic

MY old, VERY low hour Honda EU2000i - No "soft start" A/C (Dometic 640310C45X) and on propane even! - Hutch Mountain propane conversion. Granted, it was only 72F here today, but it pleasantly surprised me.

Ran around 9 to 10 amps when the compressor was on. I did flip the breaker for the WFCO charger to off just in case, though the batts were topped off. ECO mode even worked if the compressor was already on - didn't get to try a compressor start on ECO though.

But, my other "noise maker" gen, an old Champion 4500/3500 (#46540) open frame non-inverter, converted to propane as well (Moto Snorkel), would stall out when the A/C compressor was kicking on.............this gen served me well for years with my old trailer and a 15k A/C unit so I'll have to hunt down the problem. It should have handled the 11k with ease..........


Now to find a 3/8ths to 1/4(?ETI's) M-B Sturgis male quick connect adapter so I can run off the trailer quick-connect instead of hooking up to the bottles directly.

Like you cord-set -BTW


And for some reason, my Champion 4000/3500 on propane ran the 11k A/C fine today...........believe the regulator is getting a bit finicky..........

My build sheet says 11,000 BTU Dometic. As received from the factory, no modifications.
Cord is easy to make up ��
