I assume your RV service input is 120 VAC and you have somehow adapted from a three-prong plug to a 240 VAC 4-prong (120 Volt "A" phase and 120 volt "B" phase).
The way I read the owners manual this genset can only supply 15 amps for each 120 volt leg of the 240 volt output. If you can somehow split your RV input service so that the A/C runs on one side of the of 240 volt output and everything else on the other leg then all will be well....
Many inexpensive gensets of this type have an internal wiring connection arrangement that will allow you to reverse the phase of one leg and connect it in parallel with the opposite phase in order to provide a single 30 amp rated 120 volt service.
