The cover has 4 bolts on top that you have to remove to lift the cover
The capacitors are behind a plate on the slide out side of the trailer. Removal of two screws allows you to pull the plate off.
There are two capacitors in this area. A tall round one for the compressor and a short oval one for the blower.
The SPP6E is made to piggyback onto the tall round capacitor for the compressor and there are available contacts.
Remove the wire strap that holds the two capacitors in place, clip the two leads of the SPP6E to open contacts on the tall round capacitor, and install all three back into the box with the wire safety strap holding all three in place.
Put the cover plate and cover back on for the electronics and unit, and you are done.
I was able to start and run our 13500 unit on one EU2000i. Start up required about 1500 watts and once the system was running, the draw was a constant 1320 watts. Plenty of room to spare for one EU2000i.
****UPDATE JULY 12, 2011****
I have found that altitude affects my fix on this. Camping at 6000' in Alabama Hills by Lone Pine, CA and could not start the A/C on one generator. Had to use both in parallel to run the A/C. Works fine at sea level with just one generator. Obviously I am close to the max power draw on one generator at sea level and the altitude lowers the power generation enough to drop below the power level needed for the A/C. I will continue to test in different locations as we camp to gather more data.
****UPDATE MAY 13, 2012****
A good friend passed to me information from a Coleman Technician that the the Supco SPP6 capacitor that many forums recommend to help start our A/C compressors are no good and will shorten the compressors life. The Tech recommended a Coleman 8333a9021 start kit. I ordered one off Ebay for $21. Swapped it out with the SPP6 and everything still works great. I have not been camping in altitude since my last update so no new news on using one generator yet.
