Generator and rear A/C
I have a question about how my generator powers my rear AC. I have a 2001 Fleetwood expedition 36t with 30 amp service. It has a diesel Onan 7500 watt generator. On the generator itself it has a 30 am...

Yes a 7500 watt generator is able to produce 30 amps per leg.
You might want to check the rooftop A/C and see if it has a bad capacitor? It is something significant if it trips a 30 amp circuit breaker. Is it only when the rear A/C is put in cooling that the circuit breaker trips?
Are you running anything else, such as the water heater on electric, or coffee maker or microwave? The water heater might draw 8-11 amps, while a coffee maker can be 8-12 amps, same with the microwave.
