Agree, the 2000i is a great genset, but running the AC on it should be considered a short time solution...IMHO. Another option for you might be getting a second 2000i and running a parallel cable. This would provide you with the needed extra current and wouldn't tax the genset so hard, but of course that's an expensive option too. If you do run at max continuous power frequently, you'll also need to change the oil often.
The owners manual states the following limitations:
Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
Maximum power is: 2000 VA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is: 1600 VA
The total power requirements (VA) of all appliances connected must
be considered. Appliance and power tool manufacturers usually list
rating information near the model number or serial number.
Remember it's probably not just your AC that will be running as your converter will also draw current. This could possibly put you over the line for your current budget on the 2000i.
