Keep in mind when testing for the right generator that the load on the cool-cat when first turned on will be less then when it cycles off-then on. Because of it's large size and small area of the t@b, it will normally come on for short bursts all night long when in use. The compressor is under greater pressure when it re-starts and of course the load on the generator is greater.
It would be necessary (I think) to duplicate this scenario when checking out a generator to insure it will be able to re-start the cool-cat when in use...

Had we known, we could have done this...the RV place had a 2400 on display and wouldn't have minded hooking it up to our t@b.. Do this and then crank the cool cat way down and see what happens. Since it's been reported that some do OK with the 2400, you'll your answer real quick.

Interestingly, our 2800 was like 10 lbs lighter than than the 2400, although it's footprint is larger. Luckily it still fits in the t@b door, so we can carry it inside...another important criteria for us.
