Yes, you can get on the aluminum roof of your camper. It will hold you up fine. Just be careful not to fall off. And disconnect the shore-power. And tell someone you are up there. And use a good ladder. And take a tube of self-leveling caulk to touch up the thin spots and cracks in the caulking. And use 303 Protectant on all the plastic, but do that as you are getting down, it's slippery.  8)
Thank you!

For those wondering: EU2200i would not start A/C properly before adding the SPP6, after adding the SPP6 the A/C will start reliably, run on high cool, and I can turn on the fridge on AC power mode, lights, radio, battery charger running, etc. I can even do this and then put the generator on eco throttle and it throttles down about 30% with all that on (I've been starting the A/C with eco throttle off).

Also, I installed the SPP6 incorrectly the first time adding it onto the small start capacitor which didn't work, when I moved it to the large run capacitor (so that the run capacitor fed the old start capacitor, and the new spp6) all worked as expected.

I'll get back up on the roof soon to seal up a few spots of caulk and to put on that 303 UV spray.

Looks good. I've been running the new honda 2200 on a 13.5k AC with the micro-air easystart soft starter, and it works fine for me, even starting the compressor in eco mode. max amp draw I've seen has been 13-14a on my EMS. Waiting for warmer weather to see how it works then.
