[AT] OT : problems with rv ac portland coming soon .

[carl gogol]

Check the l"ocked rotor amps" on the AC unit's motor to see if the generator 
has the necessary capacity.  I have an older generator that has one circuit 
that has higher amperage on one 115V circuit than the other.  Something like 
this might limit your output in 230 volts -
