Is it feasible to put a 5000 btu a/c in my Honda and run it off the
alternator with an inverter?

Thanks in advance!

can't quite put a generator on the back... will the alternate provide
sufficient amperage?

Sure. The generator on the rear deck was only used for the bear cooler, and
deep fryer in the trunk. So, you should be OK.

No, typical alternators put out around 50 to 60 amps. At 12 volts that's
about 600 watts peak. You will use part of that running the rest of the car
electrical things and recharging the battery.
