Of course they are not mutually exclusive, unless we ignore the original
post. Tim outlined 5 criteria, and the use he envisioned. We have had
people suggest he not use the Air Conditioning while cruising, to
suggesting a complete rework of his systems.
The discussion has turned to the Honda EU 2000. Naturally this unit
would not compare to the high priced spreads, and there will be a
compromise or two. But, so far Tim's 5 criteria and proposed use has
been upheld with the suggestion of the Honda.
It will charge the batteries by plugging the 110 outlet into the
shorepower system, and it "should" run his AC. It is easy enough to find
out. I have personally seen it start and run 12k units..
Good luck, Tim !!
