All of the references I see for the Micro-Air EasyStart 364 say "Works great with Honda 2000 inverter generator". I just have one of those $369 Inverter Generators from eBay (Pulsar 2000 watt), probably identical to many non-honda brands underneath the plastic and decals. Will it also work well with a non-honda inverter generator?

Hard to say, it's not just watts that matter. If your okay with the money to add the soft start, it's worth a shot. You will at least make your campers power draw better, and less chances of popping a circuit when running multiple electronics when plugged in.

The MicroAir EasyStart will lessen the initial power required. Once it is running, then the Pulsar should be able to keep it running. The caveat is that you will likely need to turn the breaker for your converter off, especially if you just pulled into a site and your battery isn't fully charged which can happen if you were towing with the refrigerator on 12V. Forget about running anything else simultaneously with the AC. The Pulsar is marginal, at best.
