QUOTE(atvfd28 @ Jul 11 2012, 03:31 PM) Great question. I am a newbie and currently sorting out what brand camper to get. Regarding the AC, the little bit i have haerd is that the new units "start" easier than older ones. That I guess explains how some are powering the smaller roof tops with the EU2000. Hope you get some more feedback.  Thanks. I have changed my ac out for a 9200 btu unit and have bad success with the Honda 2000 so far. What campers are you looking at? |

QUOTE(KY_Campers @ Jun 3 2011, 08:03 AM) Has anyone ever used the Black-Jack roof coating ?? I just bought a 5-gallon bucket of the roof coating from Lowe's. This is the type that I bought. ''Lowe's''.. Black-Jack Ultra-Roof 1000 10 Year White Siliconized Elastomeric Roof Coating If so, Did you put some kind of ''patch'' down first before putting the roof coating on ??... At the bottom of the link, It shows some ''rubberized roof patch''. Also, How many coats of the Black-Jack did you put down ?? My camper roof doesn't leak, But I thought I would put the black-Jack on in case it started leaking!, and I like it because it makes the roof ''rubber''! I started to buy the brush on rubber roof kit from Camping World, But it sure is priced high from there... I was told that most camper dealers use the Black-Jack. I'll be putting this on maybe next week, and I'll post pictures when I do it of the before & after! Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks! Bill I too would like to put something like this on top of my aluminum roof. How did it turn out? NC |

QUOTE(aqualung @ May 16 2012, 07:27 AM) That depends on how well your camper is insulated, how hot it is outside and are you in the sun or not. You may find a 9000BTU unit adequate but depending on the circumstances you may not. Here's a 9200BTU unit. Note that it uses almost as much power (1225W to 1450W) as the 13500BTU unit (1440W). http://www.adventurerv.net/coleman-polar-c...ioner-p-76.html Also, the 13500BTU unit is cheaper than the 9200BTU unit. So if it were me I'd buy the 13500BTU unit. Thanks for your help. |

QUOTE(aqualung @ May 14 2012, 07:30 AM) The Coleman Mach3 PS (power saver) model would work with your generator. It will cool using 1440W. It does use more power if you want to heat with it. http://www.adventurerv.net/coleman-13500-b...ach-p-5321.html Here's the user manual: http://www.rvcomfort.com/pdf_documents/mach_3_ps_copy.pdf I'm sure there's other models out there that will work too. Do you think that 13,500 is necessary to cool a 8 ft hard side camper? Would I be as well served by a lower profile (lighter) model that is 9,000 btu, or would you stick with 13,500 figuring more is better? |

I would like to run an air conditioner with my Honda 2000i (inverter model with the 30 A plug- puts out 13.3 A). Does anyone have a recommendation on what btu will it run without burning either the air conditioner or the generator up? |

I have a small truck camper and want to run an air conditioner with my Honda 2000 generator. What size (btu's) can I run with my Generator (the 13,500 currently on the camper is too much). I am hoping to go to a small compact air conditioner but don't know much about them. |
