Let’s play safe out there… Mike
Mike,
Experienced something yesterday with my new Reflection fifth wheel that took me by surprise. After several days without sun, I hooked up my generator to replenish my batteries, and tried to turn on my 15K BTU Furrion AC...I have used this Eveready 3000W before with my previous Coleman Mach 15K without incident. This time it overloaded and failed to start the AC.
Is it because the converter was drawing so much power to charge the batteries? I didn't record the numbers but the Victron shunt was showing a pretty good charge rate at first.
Ironically, these issues will go away shortly as I had just ordered a SoftStartUp...now my question is will this AC start on a Honda 2200? Am I correct in my assumption about the converter using too much power early in the battery charging process? Is the Furrion AC more power hungry than the Coleman or Dometic? I am really hoping to be able to use a Honda 2200!
Thanks for your input!
