Current Draw of Advent Air Roof Mount Air Conditioners  

Question:

Expert Reply:

Power consumption of the Advent Air Rooftop RV Air Conditioners ACM135 and ACM150 is nominally rated in watts, 1450 watts for the 13,500 btu unit and 1750 for the larger 15,000 btu model. This can be converted to current (amps) by dividing the wattage by the operating voltage:

1450 watts / 115 volts = 12.6 amps
1750 watts / 115 volts = 15.2 amps

Will a Honda 2000 start & run the Atwood 13,500 btu air conditioner at 7000 feet?

A 2,000 watt generator likely isn't enough to start and run a 13,500 Btu AC (especially at higher elevations). You'll need to run two of them in parallel, like what we have with the etrailer # 333-0001-2 ,to get double the output- or just go with a larger generator altogether.
