I have a 2000 watt honda but don't think I'll even try it. Am thinking this is the one I would get
EU3000IH1A Handi 3,000W. A lot more money than the HF model but I would have a hard time trusting it.

It varies. If you are not running the other appliances (water heater or refrigerator on 120V, then it is possible to run the AC with a 2200 watt generator, especially if you have installed a Micro-Air Easy Start which reduces the peak inrush current needed to get the compressor running. It also depends on if the converter is trying to charge a depleted battery also. If the battery is charged and all the converter is doing is float charging, then it will work. If, however, your battery is low so the converter is in bulk charging mode, then the total load would be too high. Sometimes, you can flip the breaker for the converter if that is the case but then your battery will not be charged. I have had to do that to take the edge off the heat and then turn the converter back on when the 'Pod cools off some. I did install an Easy Start and am using a Generac iX2000 generator. I would like to get the Predator 3500, but am holding off for now as the additional weight and size would be harder for me to maneuver and lift. I would need to get some ramps or a hoist to load it in our pickup for travel. I can lift our iX2000, so we are sticking with it for now.
