With the original 7.5KW, you could basically run everything (including water heater) - until you get to the stove. When you scale down to the 5.0KW, you loose 33% capacity.
I used 11,000 BTU because it was easier to grab. Again, these are generic reference numbers to give you a sense of what you can power up at the same time. Your mileage may vary, given the make/model of each device you have, and the newness (which typically equals lower power consumption).
The only thing I updated was the first line (in green). The usability results are the same as before (prev post).
7500 watts @120v = 62.5amps [Original 7.5KW Quicksilver]
5000 watts @120v = 41.6amps [New Kohler 5.0KW 5EKD]
Fridge 0.4amps [Norcold DE-0061, 7cu ft]
Ice Maker 2.5amps [Uline 21"]
AC Total 32.6 / 19.7
AC 16,000 BTU 17.6amps / 10.8 [start/run]
AC 11,000 BTU 14amps / 7.9 [start/run]
AC Water Pump 1amp [0.99amps]
Microwave 9-15amps
Stove 10amps / 10amps / 10amps [each burner (3) is 1200w]
BattCharger 4amps* [Pronautic 1240P - 15amp AC breaker]
12volts * 40amps = 480watts / 120v = 4amp*
*unable to find actual specs for AC current draw
WaterHeater 12.5amps [1500watt element]
