Does anyone here have the power requirements in watts for the 177 air conditioner both for using as fan only as well as using in cooling mode.

The minimum power that will start the AC compressor is about 2200W anecdotally. The fan itself would be a small fraction of that.

Thank you. I had no idea that little roof mounted compressor would require that much . It looks a lot smaller than a few I have at home that run on separate 15 amp circuits .

We camped last weekend at a friends cabin and ran the A/C from a 15a circuit. Nothing popped in the cabin and the A/C did it's job. also had the fridge going.
