My 6,000 watt Onan quiet diesel will not start both air conditions at the same time. I have to be sure that at least one is off when I start the generator or they will trip the main breaker. Once I get one running and that they are starting randomly I have not had any isues. This is really annoying but I have not found a good (and easy) solution to it yet.
It should. The only thing that would cause it is, the RARE time BOTH AC compressors would start at the EXACT same time. Since the compressors only pull a 1 to 2 second hi amp start load, the odds of yours everytime starting within that 1 to 2 seconds is astronomical. You don't state what year and brand RV, but if you have a 1500 to 3000 watt Inverter/Charger and it is set to HI AMP battery charging that will cause an extra 11 to 14 AC amp draw on the system, which will kill or trip a breaker on a Genset. The fix is to reset the Charger amp draw to a lower setting to get it down below 6 amps. Doug
