The A/C unit shuts down completely and the volt meters go to zero. Then it starts up after about 3 seconds or so and the volt meters go back to about 115/116 and on and on.

OK, we need to review the symptoms here; I for one am a bit confused.

Are the symptoms the same on GEN as they are on SHORE power ?

If the meters go to 0, one would think that more than the AC goes dead but your report seems to imply that nothing else is affected.

I now think that an electrician might be what is required.
You may have a breaker that is about to fail completely. If that's the case, turning one breaker off should kill all of the things where the power is intermittent.

Hi Vulcan

I may have been not to clear in my question:

On running the generator everything works just like it should.

On shore power the AC will run for a good while (nothing else is on but the refer) and then it is like the power is shut off to the coach. Everything goes dead for several seconds then the power comes back on and everything works for several seconds and then shuts down as the power goes off for several seconds and so on until I go to the house and turn the circuit off.

Its almost like an overload somewhere or the circuit panel in the house may have a weak breaker that is not sending the correct voltage to the coach but the breaker is not bad enough to trip hence the voltage drops, everything shuts down, the voltage comes back up everything comes on, the voltage drops and everything shuts down and so on.

I'm thinking a residential electrician may be necessary. Am I barking up the wrong tree?
