ongoing generator issue
I had some problems with my generator but just had a new control panel and interface installed by a certified dealer. It is now running fine but it trips when my RV A/C compressor kicks on. Gen shop...

Another update:
I purchased a replacement capacitor and installed it. No help. Ran gen at full throttle, plug in RV, nothing else on in RV (hot water heater does run on electric or gas but it is off completely). Turn on A/C, fan comes on, no change in gen or very slight, compressor kicks on, gen revs up and loses all power, gen motor then slow down to normal full throttle mode but is not generating any power. I unplug RV from gen, shut gen down for about 30 seconds, start gen back up, and it is generating power again.
I plugged my RV back into 30 amp shore power and A/C works fine. I left the new capacitor on A/C and will keep the old one as a spare. Obviously it is not the A/C capacitor and I'm back to square one.
I guess my two options are one: wait for Micro Air Easy Start 364 to come in and try that or two: take gen back to repair shop and have it tested some more.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
