Honda EU2000i
Ok A Frame Owners, I am about to purchase a Honda EU2000i inverter for my A213HW. If you have an A Frame and one of these generators, please let me know what you think of it. Does it run the a/c? Microwave and a/c?

If your A/C is the 10K BTU Cool Cat like my T-12 you should be able to run the A/C with a EU2000. You will not be able to use "Eco Mode" on the generator, as the starting surge of the A/C will throw the genny into overload fault.
I use a EU3000 because it has almost 4 gallons gas capacity and can run a 15K BTU A/C if needed.

It should run your A/C just fine, as well as the microwave, just not both at the same time. I run mine on a Ryobi 2200. Mine will kick it over in Eco mode, but damn near flops over from the load increase so I dont use it.
Enjoy!

I bought two Yamaha AP2000iQ Inverter Generators both for about 1200 plus tax and then got the connecting Cable to put them together as needed.

I rented an EU2000 just to try it out once, and it does run the AC in eco mode as you said. I also agree that it's not a good choice. Without eco mode the generator is loud and requires too much fuel.
That was just a test, but I decided to not get a generator at all. When boondocking I use a 100 watt solar panel and just go without AC!

Hello............
This is what I got to power even the CoolCat and micro at the same time. Does the job quietly and got it for a little over $500 with discounts at overstock.com. A third the cost of the Honda.......
