I believe the after start/shutdown/start failure delay is to allow the "head pressure" to bleed off in the compressor and give the motor an easier time of starting. It will happen no matter how the unit is powered: shore power or generator.
Ok, that makes sense.
Couple of other things that just dawned on me. Because we use the AC so little I usually just leave it in 'Auto' cool mode and that is the mode I've been doing all this testing in. I wonder if it would be easier for it to start in the non auto (fan?) mode or if that makes any difference.
Also, the converter is still drawing some juice, I suppose I could throw the breaker for that and maybe make things a little easier for the AC to start.
