I contacted Advent and the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Start Capacitor part # ACM150C needs at least a 3,000 starting watt generator to start the air conditioner even with the start capacitor present. I recommend to use A-iPower 3,800-Watt Portable Inverter Generators - 3,000 Running Watts - Gas - Manual Start
# 289-SUA2000i-2. which will give you enough starting watts to start the air conditioner and extra to run a small appliance if you needed to. The best thing about this option is the noise level can be compared to the noise level of a normal conversation.
