Hi mlts,
Warm up the generator for at least five minutes. Run a toaster or other high draw appliance and then switch on the air conditioner. Try it with the eco switch in the off position. Add a hard start capacitor to the air conditioner. Some folks have added relays so the fan motor starts after the compressor (or is it the other way round?).
I have a 13500 btu Dometic and the Yamaha 3000 iSEB. If I watch the voltage on starting in eco mode, the voltage sometimes drops to 90.
I just got my magnum "boost" inverter so I'm hoping that will take care of this low voltage event. I'll probably try to write a report about it soon.
