Well all generators with a few exceptions produce 120 volts. What will determine if a generator will run your air conditioner is the number of watts the generator will put out. You need to learn the wattage needed by the air conditioner and also learn the max watts put out by the generator you have (Assuming you have one already) it the generator produces more watts that needed by the AC unit you are good to go. Not on the other hand if the generator you have dose not produce enough watts or you do not have one then it is a matter of buying a generator with the wattage required by the AC unit in your camper. Now if you are going to buy one I would also determine what else you would like to run from the generator (in addition to the air conditioner. Figure out the watts need by these items add them together with the watts needed by the AC unit. Then buy a generator big enough for your needs.

How does RV air conditioner work?
An RV air conditioner works much like an air conditioner in any vehicle. It has a compressor and a condenser that operate in concert to cool the air. In an RV, the air conditioner runs off of a generator when the engine is off.
What is the difference between a 120V generator and a 240V generator?
The primary difference between a 120V generator and a 240V generator lies in their voltage output, which affects their application and power capacity. A 120V generator is typically used for standard household appliances and tools, while a 240V generator can power larger equipment, such as air conditioners and heavy machinery. Additionally, 240V generators often have the capability to run multiple 120V circuits simultaneously, making them more versatile for certain applications. Choosing between the two depends on the specific power needs of the devices you intend to operate.
Will a 1000 watt generator run a 5000 btu air conditioner?
yes
Can a 2000 watt run a camper air conditioner?
Not really. A 2000W generator will give you about 10 amps. Your normal RV air conditioner will draw 12-15.
Where is the air conditioner drain?
You have to ask your dealer. In a Chrysler Voyager 97 it is placed beneath the generator.
What capacity generator is needed to start a 5 ton Air Conditioner?
A 5 ton Air Conditioner typically requires a generator with a starting wattage of around 10,000 to 12,000 watts to accommodate the initial surge of power needed at startup. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications for the exact power requirements of the specific model of the Air Conditioner.
Can you run 125v air conditioner on 120v house current?
Yes ,it's the same voltage.You have a +-5% of voltage range
What can happen if you connect a 60 hertz air conditioning unit to a 50 hertz generator?
Probable the air conditioner doesn't work well.
Will a 3200 watt generator power a 15000 btu air conditioner?
A 3,200-watt generator can typically power a 15,000 BTU air conditioner, but it depends on the specific starting and running wattage of the unit. Most 15,000 BTU air conditioners require around 2,000 to 2,500 watts to run, but they can draw significantly more power (up to 3,500-4,000 watts) during startup. Therefore, if your generator can handle the startup surge, it should work; otherwise, you may need a larger generator. Always check the air conditioner's specifications for exact wattage requirements.
Will a 8000 BTU air conditioner run on a 900 watt generator?
An 8000 BTU air conditioner typically requires between 700 to 1000 watts to operate, depending on its efficiency and design. A 900-watt generator may be able to power the air conditioner during startup, but it might struggle to maintain operation, particularly if the AC draws more power initially. Additionally, the generator's continuous output capacity should be considered, as running the AC at or near the generator's maximum output can lead to overloading and potential damage. It's advisable to use a generator with a higher wattage capacity for reliable operation.
Can you use an amcor kf9000e portable air conditioner to cool a truck?
Yes, I use Honda 2000 generator to power the KF9000E air condition, works great!
What do you use a generator for?
Generators can be used to power many electrical appliances in a house during a power outage. Depending on what size you have, a generator can power a refrigerator, oven, lights, even an air conditioner.
