Generator problems
I have a new Nexus Super C with two AC units. Both work properly when on shore power but when the generator is running, either manually or in autogen, when the temp gets hot both ac units try to star...

The generator is a 6000 watt Onan diesel model. It is more than enough for both A/Cs... but because both are starting at once, it is eating 120 locked rotor amps.
I wonder if there is a way to have one A/C just have the fan run while the other A/C starts up, then the second A/C would start its compressor. I also wonder if a hard start capacitor would help as well, as described above, but with both compressors firing up at once, I don't think even that would help.
Pianotuna is also right about generator exhaust... I'd consider a Gen-Turi kit since it gets the exhaust to disperse a lot better, and not around the coach.
