Here is the scoop.

Started gen. plugged in trailer, drew 138 watts for LP detector, inverter and charger, after few minutes dropped down to 100 watts, at that point I started the AC fan on low, drew 560 watts then dropped down to 350 watts, then started cooling unit, drew 1407 watts dropped down to 1250 watts.

Now I have 2011 RP 172, it has a 11000 BTU AC, this is well within the EU2000i capability.

Have you changed the starting capacitor or using the original? Safe Travels.

No Camper Bob, I have not changed anything. Reminder: My AC is only 11000 BTU.
