I have a house hold split air con in my caravan.
It says it draws 22 Amps on start up, but runs at a Max run current of 7 Amps and a run current of .4 Amps.
Can anyone tell me what size genie is required to run the A/C.
Thanks

Brooka,
If your air con is an inverter type, you should be able to run it off a 1kva Honda/Yammy etc ...I am not that technically minded, but if you have a look at the following link
http://users.bigpond.net.au/goldway/roadstars/page2.html
you will see it can be done, and there are plenty doing it..
Before other
forum members start howling me down because they know the origin of that site, he does have some good ideas.
Best bet is to borrow a genny and try it, go to one of the dealers and say you will buy one if it works, they will have demo models..
Hope this helps
Greg
