You will need at least a 5000 watt generator to run that and a few lights etc... for the camper.

    Brother,You can power a couple of big motor homes with a 5,000 watt generator.WITH AC ON BOTH!! You only need a 2,500 or 3,000 watt genset to power your unit. When my old '75 Midas isn't on the grid, I run a 3,200 watt generator head with a little Honda engine on it. Runs 11 hours on 2 gallon of gas, AC on, cook with a Turbowave, microwave, coffee maker, Lights on, TV set on, and I have no problems whatsoever.

Dometer 3105457. how big of generator for the air

If it is a normal AC for RV then I would suggest something over 4000 watts, the AC's have a very high start amps.

You would really need to know how many amps the unit draws or is rated to draw when looking for a generator. Too small of a generator and it won't work, plus you could damage the generator and the AC unit. I would call an RV store and ask them as that is something simple for them to answer.

I HAVE DOMETIC DUO-THERM PENGUIN ROOF AIR CONDITIONING ON RV. THE UNIT WILL RUN WHEN PLUGGED INTO ELECTRICITY BUT WHEN GENERATOR POWERED THE AC UNIT KILLS THE GENERATOR ENGINE. WHAT COULD IT BE?

What size & type generator? On start up the AC unit can draw as much as 17-18 amps in some cases, and if your generator is not designed for a quick draw like that it will die.

Need electral requirements to size a generator for Duo-Therm A/C unit model 57915.531

A Duo-Therm 13.5BTU Brisk Air unit will pull 14 - 16 amps on average in High/Cool mode. Depending on the ambient temperature. Since the unit is 120VAC, then we know that the unit is going to need at least 1920Watts to run. There are other things in the unit that will affect the generator as well. TV's, Microwave and Converter all pull amperage on the generator. It is safe to say that if you are using a 4000Watt Generator, then you will be fine. If it is just for the AC and nothing else, then a 2500Watt generator is more than sufficient.

Thanks,

Jeff
