You’re correct that it uses less power than standard A/C.

However, the newer 11,000 BTU/hr Power Saver uses even less electricity, and more importantly has lower starting current. A couple of manufacturers are using 2 X 11,000 A/Cs with 30-Amp and 4-kW generators.
Unless they have already done it and is not reflected in specs above, it would be nice to see Coleman reengineer the Polar Cub with Power Saver design to lower power even more. With tremendous growth in van motorhome market, there should be a demand for quiet and efficient 8,000 to 9,000 BTU/hr A Cs.
