You will probably want to purge the LP system.....so light a burner on the stove. That's a quick way to be sure that the gas is getting to the systems, and you can actually see it:)
You will have to try the genset....it's gonna be close. Have a meter there, to see what kind of voltage you have when the A/C is running. You don't want it to drop below 105VAC. The Honda should handle the starting load, then drop off a bit, once the system is running. If you find that the Honda can't handle the load, you'll need to use the other generator. With the Honda, you don't want to try and power anything else but the A/C......or microwave...one at a time.
Make sure your batteries are good....since they are going to be what helps with the ignition for the furnace, water heater, and probably the A/C thermostat.
Make sure that the water heater has water in it, before you start it...you don't want to burn up the thing!
Good luck, and have fun with you camper!
