Odd electrical issue

First off thanks in advance for the forum, hoping you guys can help me out.

I have a issue with power from the generators, powering my Lance Camper.

Panel works, charges etc, The ac, micro etc all run fine off shore power, but when I run via the on-board or either of my Honda EU generators the power "trips" and goes off.

I was told it was likely the power converter, just spent an hour swapping that out to still have the same problem.

TIA, Tom

    My recent research showed 2000 watts would not be enough for my AC - especially at altitude.


    True, I tried with a 1000 and a 3000, not even trying to run the AC, this still happens when all the breakers are off too

    It could be the transfer switch
    That switches from shore to genny not the converter


    Where would I locate that on the camper,,?

    More information will help people in figuring out the issue. What size generators are you trying? What all are you trying to power with the generator?
