We have an E19 and the Houghton 9.5 AC with an RV soft start. I run it just fine off a Renogy 2000 inverter connected to 860 amp hours of LifePo4 battery system. I can get 24 hours of cooling from battery’s but that will very depending on the outside temperature.
Also, we have the standard refrigerator and it works perfectly, I use a combination of shore power, DC when driving and propane when needed.
I think the 13.5 AC will draw a little more current and maybe a 3k inverter is appropriate but you need to determine your total load and go from there. I try to size for 75% load and I don’t run my microwave or other high current loads at the same time.
Energy management is importent and I had to realize that I’m driving around the country with a compact camper and not my house, so it’s a compromise on creature comforts. I see these big frigen rigs in the campgrounds and I am so happy we have our Escape 19 that allows us to go where they can never go and with so much less hassle.
