but it would not start the roof A/C
this same A/C unit ran with a coleman contactror 2500 in a test 2 yrs ago
and last year just fine with the generac RV TXP4500 that i just removed ( died )
so I reckon a hard start kit is the next thing to buy
Now that really surprises me. May I make a suggestion? Run a power cord directly to the AC plug (bypass the camper) just to make sure there are no parasitic loads on the generator.
You might also turn the AC fan on first, let it come up to speed and then hit the compressor start button. The locked rotor current and time frame on your AC would have to be really, really high for the Champion not to work. I know some of the older units, before scroll compressors were used, did have that problem.
But why am I telling you this? You have worked in this area for years. Still, sometimes two heads can be better than one in resolving a problem.
I cannot imagine a wiring defect in the generator that would not give you the full power of 29 amps at 120 volts.
