had one little glitch. After the initial start on first pull, I ran on Eco mode, and then normal mode for about 8-10 minutes each, then plugged in and switched on the trailer which has pretty full batteries, so not much load, and could not even tell any change in Eco mode. Had about 121V at the socket. Did a test run of the 1000W micro with a glass of water and the gen kicked up and then down when the micro went off. Ran the A/C fan only and then the A/C. No problems then about 12 minutes into the A/C run, the generator just kicked off, but no indicator lights on the front. I restarted (three pulls) and brought up slowly with no problems and ran the A/C for over an hour and cycled the compressor twice with no issues. Not sure what caused it to kick off the one time, but it seems fine now, even with the long run of the A/C after. I did a cool down cycle, ran the carb out of gas and started again about 4 hours later and did a short run of the A/C without incident.

Did you have both your frig, hot water turned off, or running on gas? Is it possible one of them (frig, HW heater, or battery charger) turned on without you being aware of it?
Also, what size is your a/c? 13.5k BTU? 15k BTU?
