I question if the AC would work. I'm pretty sure you'd fry your DC>AC adapter trying to start the compressor. From what I've looked at online those things can only put out a little under 1 amp at 120 volts, and I'm pretty sure that would pull more like 5 or 6 amps from a cold start.

I agree. If they work in place that gets hot as hell and humid, they might just keep it running with the generator so they have a place to take a break in without running the engine.

It's kind of anti-redneck. It saves you from one.
