I guess that this discussion thread points out a disadvantage of staying in hookup campsites.
We drycamp a lot in as much as possible campgrounds with good spacing between the sites and often when it's hot - so we can just use the generator to provide full power at full voltage to our RV. ;)
If a hughes autoformer is positioned between the genny and the air conditioner, I would think that it would help guard against voltage sag upon compressor start...
You hint at a very good point!
Instead of a Hughes autoformer, maybe the ultimate for us drycampers would be to install one of these in our coach air conditioner just to be on the safe side: https://www.microair.net/collections/easystart-soft-starters/products/easystart-364-3-ton-single-phase-soft-starter-for-air-conditioners?variant=30176048267
