WME Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So what came first the chicken or the egg? Generators and A/C units are sorta the same thing. Do you have a generator? If you do how many watts? A "normal" 13,500 BTU RV AC needs a 3500w generator. If no generator then you have a chance to match everything and get a more efficient setup. Here is a sorta package, your budget and quality wants may vari. Harbor Freight 2000w inverter generator (13 amps max) $550.00. Honda and Yamaha have 2200w and cost 2x$ https://www.harborfreight.com/engines-generators/gasoline-generators/2000-watt-super-quiet-inverter-generator-62523.html Coleman Mach 1 Power saver AC. 11,000 btu, 10 amps running $800.00. https://www.rvupgradestore.com/Coleman-Mach-Mach-I-PowerSaver-RV-AC-11-000-BTU-p/08-0055.htm You may still need an soft start kit. https://www.microair.net/products/easystart-364-3-ton-single-phase-soft-starter-for-air-conditioners?variant=30176048267 The refer is easy just get the biggest one that will fit, normally 3.7-4 cubic ft. You need a 2 way 110v/propane. A 110v/propane/12vdc is nice but not necessary. https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/parts/rv-appliances/rv-refrigerators-freezers/rv-refrigerators-and-freezers/refrigerators-dometic-americana_RM2451 Your looking for a jackknife sofa...https://www.amazon.com/jackknife-sofa-rv/s?k=jackknife+sofa+rv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
