Hi folks. Our T@B 400 is a couple months away yet. As per the title. 

1. What is the max current. Seems to me it is 10500 BTU. 

2.  Is it also a heat pump?  

Thanks folks.

    Yes it is a heat pump. BTU rating on our 2021 400 BD Cool Cat is also 10,500.

    Thank you Binghi. I wonder if it will run off of a 2K genny.

    Seems, a a minimum of a 2200 watt inverter type generator, like the Honda  2200i is the minimum size generator needed to run the Cool Cat AC.
    Adding a Soft Start device to the CoolCat allows a 2K genny to work.

    How hard is it to install the soft start? Is it a DIY project? I have that on my home AC for my whole house generator, so I'm definitely interested in getting it on the T@b as well.

    @TabbyShack It’s extremely easy. It took me longer to tidy up the wires and reattach the ducts than it did to install the soft start. There’s a good video on the process on YouTube. I can’t seem to find the thread with the video linked.

    MicroAir EasyStart is very simple to install. Did one in our 2021 T@B 400 in about 45 minutes.

    @BlueYonder you were way faster than me! Maybe I spent too much time analyzing the wiring and and mounting location, but didn't want to say ah shoot I shouldn't have done that :)

    It is a pretty easy job, simple hand tools and pay attention and almost anyone could do the job.

    I bought a pack of WAGO 221 series lever-nuts for making the connections, why I haven't discovered these a long time ago is a bit if a mystery to me. Too bad NuCamp didn't use these instead of all the Scotch locks and butt connectors! Cost I suppose.

    @SweetPea, you might try a good RV HVAC shop or maybe even a home HVAC service business, BUT I have heard the CoolCat isn't rechargeable if refrigerant leaks??

    They might be a sealed one time use system from what I have read, but I haven't tried to get service, so speculation only based in my research. A new unit is around $1400, plus labor. They are even on Amazon as a commodity.
