Will A 2,500 Watt Champion Generator Be Enough To Power An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System
Question:
I’m considering reply my Mach 8 Plus Cub 9,200 btu w/ Advent Air RV Air Conditioner Sys 13500 btu. Will the included “start capacitor” enable a CHAMPION 2500 Inverter 2500W starting 1850W running 20.8 amps starting 15.4 amps running start the Advent System? Please Advise.

Expert Reply:
The start capacitor # ACMSCKIT included with the Advent Air # ACM135C will drop the starting wattage down to approximately 1,800 watts with a 1,450 running wattage so your Champion generator # CH34FR with 2,500w surge rating and 1,850w running wattage will be enough to handle the demand.
If you plan on powering more items in your trailer then you can use the Parallel Kit # CH74FR and another # CH34FR to double your available wattage.
