I have some friends that "get away with" running their 13.5's with a soft start powered by an EU2000. However there are a few tradeoffs. The 2000 watt genset is only rated at 1600 watt continuous, so you're running it pretty hard and pretty throttle up. They cannot run much else at the same time. On hot days 90's+ and at altitudes say above 2000 ft it really strains the genset should the A/C cycle. They run the A/C at its coldest to eliminate the cycling. They also turn all else off including the converter on these days as well for the EU2000 won't run the A/C and converter at the same time with any consistency. I'd propose going with say a Yamaha 2400 watt to get that little bit more capacity and still stay with a weight range you can live with. Remember most all open framed gensets although cheaper will not make you any friends in a campground.
