I'm about to drop another two Group 29s into my rig, bringing my total

allow me to run the AC for several hours without the generator. I've had a
few occasions where that capability would have been very nice. Inverter
prices have decreased to the point where that is practical.

I'd be very interested in how that experiment works out. I've
never heard of anyone running an AC on an inverter. I can barely
run mine on my Honda 3000i.

I wonder about the effect of that initial surge, especially.
