Does any one know the wattage of a Coleman Mach 9000 Air Conditioner? I can't find the info in the operators manual or installation guide. I am also looking at a generator and that would probably be the highest wattage item it would run. I realize that with a Honda EU2000 or the Yamaha EF2400 I would not be able to run a lot at the same time. Most use would be for the Air and or an electric heater rated at 1500 watts. Thanks!

I have been looking into the Boliy generator. It's a clone, comparable to the Yamaha and only weighs about 75 lbs. And cost around 1000 bucks. Anyone have any experience with these? The rv sites are giving them good reviews.

They are wound with aluminum rather than copper like the Yamaha and Honda..... These Chinese knockoff genset have tendacy to "meltdown". That's why they are much lighter, they're made out of plastic and aluminum.
