Does your A/C unit have a soft-start module? Some of the colemans or dometics can exceed 20A at startup, unless you have a soft-starter added.Has anyone tried using the base 2.4KW propower 20amp output to run their AC unit (13.5k BTU) in their trailer?
No its a standard unit. Specs are 2700 surge at startup and 1250 running. I'm thinking the surge at startup can be handled for a brief time for the inverter in the propower, but don't know. Another trick to reduce startup is to run in low mode then shift to hi after startup. Just looking for real time use before I order one or buy one in stock that doesn't have the 7.2k feature. The 7.2k is really only 3.6k in the 110v mode.Does your A/C unit have a soft-start module? Some of the colemans or dometics can exceed 20A at startup, unless you have a soft-starter added.
YEP! But that's exactly a 30A pedestal rating for any RV plug where "all" single A/C units should be just fine.No its a standard unit. Specs are 2700 surge at startup and 1250 running.
