I'm a new owner of a 2014 C28 and absolutely love it. I'm learning a lot though and would like to know the wattage rating for the Air Conditioner. I've learned the hard way that the water heater is not appropriate for the inverter (similar to other's experience, I have a >$300 replacement inverter on the way to drive the lesson home). Based on the 25A breaker, I would conclude the same for the Air Conditioner. But would like to confirm.

Is there an expected wattage rating for each of the AC loads? That would be helpful to compare with both the inverter rating and the Generator rating. I have the 2.7 Mase.
 
There should be technical information like that in the manual. The biggest draw will be on the compressor startup.
 
I have a c30 with 2 a/c's. Running both requires almost 25 amps. I definitely would not try the converter on them.
 
I don't think the inverter is connected to the A/C lines anyway. On my boat they have their own plug for separate shore power. This line is dedicated and not in the inverter circuit .
