Dometic 13.5 vs 15K power requirement
I own a Dometic 3,000 watt inverter generator that is advertised to run a 13.5 BTU Dometic a/c. I used it only a couple of times on my old camper and it worked ok.
My new camper has a Dometic 15,000 BTU a/c. We stay at campgrounds but occasionally I would like to be able take a rest area break and have a/c for a little while.
Does the 15K BTU a/c take more power to start than the 13.5? Before I hook up the generator to try, I am wondering if it does not have enough power will it damage the a/c unit. Which breaker will trip first, generator or A/C?
Thanks
