Stick with the Honda - it does the job, is quiet, compact and lightweight. Good reputation too. Can't remember about the throttle, we didn't need the air con this year.

Hi there Inspired,

about 12 months ago i sold a kipor kge2000ti to a guy to run his split system in his van. When he tried it, it would start the aircon but when the aircon went to cycle (ie start up again after stopping it's compressor) it wouldn't kick back in. We then tried the 3000 and it did the exact same thing. I have no idea why though.

About 2 weeks later he rang me and told me that he had contacted a honda dealer who had bought out a eu2000 and that had run the aircon no worries at all including being on eco throttle. This being 2nd hand information i'd check with a honda specialist before purchase.

I'd recomend the Honda.

Cheers, ToNy!

SomethingI haven't read on this forum, but a friend had a motorhome with 2 split systems which ran on the eu3000 Honda on eco throttle, and the rep said he'd have no trouble with a 2000.......as long as he didn't fire both of them up at the exact same time. The trick was he had inverter air cons, so the compressor had a soft start up, and didn't stop and start but slowed down or sped up depending on their workload. Maybe something to keep in mind for new air con purchases, but expensive to replace the existing unit. He also sourced an auto starter for the eu3000 for a coupe of hundred bucks, so he could remote start and stop the gennie from inside the bus.

Hope this may be of help....to someone

Cheers Andrew
