Simply put... It's illegal.. Against every electrical code NEC, state, and local municipal, And dangerous
Also
Any shore voltage so low that you can't start the A/C, will damage the compressor when you run it after disconnecting the generator
We are all aware of campgrounds with low voltage that are able to start the a/c, then burned out running A/c units
Voltage so low that you can't even start the a/c , is fool hardy to even run it, much less sync a generator to it
Run the a/c from the Honda, or try using an auto transformer to boost voltage
Switch Every thing you can to lp
Fridge will not stay cold on low voltage power
