It should work. The load is less than 8 amps and the supply a good 15 amps.
Try starting the fan before lowering the cooling. This prevents all three motors in the ac from staying at the same time.
Otherwise, there is a problem with the equipment.

SOURCE: How many Watts will 1350 btu RV roof model use? I have a Dometic 641815 model . I want to buy this Yamaha 2400 watt generator.

Hello, I have the same exact generator, 2400 Yamaha. It works fine for my Ac, and then some. After it first kicks on, is the biggest surge. Then I have even after ac is running, I have had tv on and even used microwave. But as far as running you ac on your rv , not problem. I do it all the time. Mine is ulta quite, and 8 to ten hours run time on about a gallon of fuel. Mike

Capabilities of the Robin 2400is generator

no
ac units are 2000 watts minimum, washing machines are 1500 watts minimum, microwave is what is on the plate and start at 650 watts but most are 2000 watts
the 2400 is the peak out put for start up of fridge , washer etc and the running wattage will be 2000 watts or less ( duty cycle )
to run more than one of the nominated items at once you will be needing a 5500 to-6500 watts unit
they handle a start up surge of 6500 watts ( larger one) and will comfortably handle 5500 watts run full load
it works like this , the plate on the gen set is the surge short time load capacity of the genset and not the duty load which is 500 to 750 watts less than that plate wattage
for example your 2400 is is surge rated at 2400 watts but duty load is less than the 2000 watts
many people make the mistake of buying a gen set that looks big enough but do not calculate the maximum load capable on being put on the gen set
fully loaded uses more fuel /hr
wears out faster
has power surges as the extra load cuts in and the motor struggles to get back to required rpms for voltage and cycles
will not cover extras like lights ,
a much large gen set will take it all in it's stride , no power surges, better economy, less stress
talk with an electrician , do your maths on everything you wish to run and that which you forgot about then add 1000 watts to the duty cycle and that will be close to the gen set you require

If I have a portable air conditioner that uses around 7 amps to run, how big of a generator do I need to run it, ( ex. 2000 watt, 3000 watt, etc.) Thank you!

If you live in the USA or another country that uses 120V municipal power, then the AC uses about 800W and you SHOULD be able to run it (including starting the AC, which takes a lot more power than keeping it running once it's started) with about a 1500W to 2000W generator.

2000-0142 and 2000-0146 are hard drive SMART errors, indicating the HDD will fail.
To boot message about the AC adapter was a BIOS level message that normally appears when a Auto/air ac adapter or other 65 watt ac adapter is used to power the system.

Will a Honda 2000 run an 11,000 BTU AC

Nope. I am assuming a Honda 2000 is only a 2000 watt job. Need a dedicated 6000 watt or better. 2000 watts will barely turn on a light bulb.

How many watts does a model 610015.405 domestic ac draw when starting?

hi,
over 2000 watts, plug the rv directly into the wall or get a higher/thicker gauge extension cord to run it. They need a 25 or 30 amp breaker at the panel to run them continuously..
good luck
