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...

If you have a 240 volt generator it is only sending half the power to a single 30 amp receptacle, unless it has a switch to allow all power to go to one side. Even with that, it should start the ac.
Since you have installed the hard start capacitor I would think the problem is with the ac unit. I think you said the ac trips on shore power occasionally.
I ran into a similar problem with a fellow tailgater. I can't remember the ac brand but it was a 13,500 BTU on a brand new trailer and tripped his EU3000IS generator. We tried my EU3000IS and same thing. My generator easily ran my 15,000 unit with lights and tv running.
He ended up having the air conditioner replaced and all was solved.
