At this point it's a crap shoot anyways, I'm willing to spend the 12$ to see what happens. On another note, how hard is it to install a new ac unit anyways? If we end up having to go that route at some point.

Worth a shot, got one in my cart on amazon and should be here tomorrow. Wish us luck.
-
It's the most amazing thing I've seen today. And I thank you for that.
-
This is amazing. Who did this?!
-
Also, what is this site you speak of totem? I would like to check it out. I suppose another 600 in isn't THAT bad
-
Just checked out the capacitor, here's a picture. Looks pretty small to me.

It's okay, I wanted a quieter generator anyways. And besides, I can return it if I change my mind. And like I said previously, unless if I come into a bunch of money in the next few days I'm going to have to wait on the new airconditioner. Also, there's no way that a 3000 watt generator would fit in my tiny compartment sadly because at HF they had a bunch on sale that would have cost me less then the one I have now. You have been very helpful, thanks for that. It didn't say much in the instruction manual about breaking it in, unless if I overlooked it which is possible. All I read was that it was not recommended that you run it over 70% capacitor for the first 25 hours or something, which I suppose could translate to break it in before trying to run your ac unit if I was more savvy on this subject. DOn't worry, oil was added, I'm not THAT stupid surprisingly. Thanks again for your help. It's much appreciated.
-
YES, just now checked that (since it was overlooked as my main concern has been the air conditioning) it does indeed run the fan on the ac. Good to know what briskair has to say about that. I was scouring my 20 year old air conditioning pamphlet and couldn't find that information anywhere. Sigh. Thanks for checking that out for me!
-
Oh, I don't mind the joking around. I will do some poking around the internet and the ac unit and see if I can't figure it out. Yes, I do welcome all information, I can tell that you guys really do know what you're talking about! I do greatly appreciate everybodys input. I'll let you know what I figure out (if anything) about our start capacitor.
-
Oh, don't worry, I'm not judging the whole forum! I actually think this place is pretty great. And I totally agree, the 13.5 seems much to large and I have no idea why anyone would put that monster in a 21 foot motorhome. However, I don't exactly have the pockets to be dishing out money on whatever I want whenever I want. But at this point with everyones input I am highly considering saving up to buy a new a.c. unit.
-
Just for you totem
-
Okay, I'll give you a picture, I have nothing to hide. Why wouldn't I compliment JJrbus,, at least he's being nice and helpful.

Like I said before, unless if you need me to quote myself on this, this is the FIRST generator I have ever owned so, like I said before I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm on this site to maybe get some help, not to get some attitude from some guy on the internet . You could have mentioned all these other steps I had to go through to make it work in the beginning. I even asked about a hard start capacitorr in my very first post but from what I recall you never mentioned it until now. So, back to the real problem at hand if you're done deciding I'm a troll. I was unaware that you have to break in a generator (remember, its my FIRST generator). Do you break it in by just running it, with a load, without a load? How will that help? My airconditioner is a Duo-Therm by Dometic, it also says it's a Briskair. If my math is correct the watts it takes to start the ac unit is 7,620. To keep the unit running it takes 1,776 watts. In no way am I saying I did that correctly. So, if I install the hard start capacitor, you're saying it will take over 5,000 less to start the ac?
-
I literally laughed out loud!
-
Luckily I made sure I could return it even after using it, or else I would have been more cautious haha. We have some other ideas such as possibly wiring a swich so we can either JUST run the a.c. or everything else. If that makes any sense. My father is pretty RV savvy so he has some idea of what he's doing, unlike me. Though I would be curious to see if it is really putting out the watts it says it is. We're going to try testing it on a few other things and see what happens. I'm honestly hoping it's defective but we'll see! Thanks for your input!
-
Well, as an update for anyone that cares, we bought the HF 2500 and it won't even turn on our AC let alone run it. So we're pretty disappointed because it seemed really promising. It runs well and we love how quiet it is, however that does nothing for us at this point.
-
Oh yes, I've noticed! And I'm currently neutral in this generator war, I'm just appreciating all the information! Been checking out different reviews for the predator and it is seeming like it might be the one! Good to know you haven't had any problems with it too, especially with leaving your dog
-
Bahaha! Thanks for the welcome Don! And yes, I can very much understand not wanting to get involved.
-
If I did buy it I was defiantly going to be getting the warranty!! And thank you for the heads up, I will certainly look at more reviews then just that. The last thing we need is to buy another piece of crap! haha
-
I will be checking that thread out! Thank you for the heads up! And for the luck, we're going to need it!
-
Yeah, Yamaha seems nice, however, out of our price range. And I do like the sound of light weight! Though by the sounds of it we would still need to upgrade our ac unit, right? All your guy's input is greatly appreciated!!
-
-
Those Yamahas are sadly out of our price range at the moment and I agree with the Honda 3000 being too heavy for us, I feel like we have enough weight as it is and should be looking to get rid of some! And from what little research I have done I haven't really heard any good things about the Roybi's so I plan on steering clear of those. Thanks for your input!
-
Thanks for the info! Like I replied to jjrbus I had misunderstood the specs as we're totally newbies so this. Looks like that predator is a pretty good deal! I will have to check it out.
