If the questions regarding AC power usage are for my rig, generally quite a bit less than 200 watts. We normally run whole house on a 600 watt pure sine inverter, which is wired so that the DC converter is switched off when the inverter is turned on. Loads with DC converter on varies by state of charge of the batteries of course, but my Progressive Dynamics Intellipower 80 amp unit can easily run my load up over 1000 watts. We of course wouldn't use the microwave, hair dryer etc with the AC running, and I haven't really done an accurate enough check to be certain of what my ac units run, and I just looked through my paperwork and I don't know what model those full height Dometics are. Both the inlet and outlet is completely ducted so there is no grill to remove from inside the 5er to look at so I will have to climb up on roof and pull the cover to see if there is a data plate up there.
As for burning up generator motors, the protection circuits seem to trip from inverter section issues prior to the motor lugging down too bad. The electronics in the generator would probably die prior to the motor.
