I know the existing generator cannot power both however we have a small Honda 2000 that I can bring along as required. Most of the time we will have shore power to use. I really wish Thor would have pre-wired the bedroom for an AC. Seriously how hard could that be during manufacture??

Nice job.
Just curious if you plan to power the 13,500 Power Saver with the 2000-watt Honda? I've seen a few reports of 11,000 BTU/hr PS A/Cs run from a small 2000 Honda, but don't recall a 13,500 PS size. Granted, the 13,500 doesn't pull that much more power than the 11,000.
If it could run on a 2000-watt generator, how far off would you be from running two A/Cs from 4,000 watt generator provided nothing else is on? It's interesting that Onan rates the 2800 watt generator to power a 13,500 PS plus 600-watt base load with an additional 300 watts available.
I've been interested in Hondas powering A/Cs because some vans that don't have built-in generators often rely on 2000s as needed.
