The EU2000 Honda will run an 8500btu Coleman only! The EU 3000 will be what you want but it will not fit in the hole, been there.
We are still struggling with this. The first Dometic 3000 worked then it didn't , can't wait to go further and fing out why. Currently, the only unit that will work with only 1 AC in the Onan microlite with I don't know ab out. I have stayed away from Onan. We are still installing Honds warer cooled 6010, an awesome unit.
If you know more, let me know llesse, so far the Dometic has cost me a lote of money and hassles prototyping.
Hope this helps,
Jim Bounds

My Kipor 2K won't start an AC unit but when I hook 2 in parallel, the AC will start painlessly. I'm guessing that 3K is about what you would need to get the AC to start--at least for invertor types since they have no tolerance for a momentary overload.
