A quick update...
Last night I fired up the generator and ripped through a thick piece of redwood with no problem.
I confirmed that when set to 120, the voltmeter showed ~120. When the switch was set to 240, it showed ~240.
I then turned off the breakers on the pannel, unplugged the refridgerator and attempted to power up the trailer. This time it bogged down (as usuaal), but it popped the breakers on the genset.
It sounds like a problem with the trailer wiring, but it seems odd that it works on shore power in a campground and off the plugs at my house.
For the short term, it sounds as if I'll only have A/C when on shore power.
On the upside, my wife won't have to be 'one of those people with a generator running in the campground'... on the downside, I won't be one of those people sitting in an air conditioned box when it's > 100 degrees. :-(
Thanks all for your suggestions and help.
