HELP!! Generator not turning on AC or microwave

I started the generator and turned on the roof air and it did not work. The microwave time came on but when I tried to turn it on the time would count down but would not spin. I checked all the fuses ...

How long are you waiting before hitting the AC? I hate to mention the obvious, but it's important to be methodical while you rule out things and try to trace down the problem. In our coach, I've got to wait about 30 seconds after the generator is running before the circuits close on the AC or microwave. (If this is a "duh" kind of suggestion, sorry--go back to the real checklist.)
