I got rushed because i looked outside and saw my friend was waiting in the car. Turned on the genny and heard the main A/C change sound. Instantly realized i did exactly what i didnt want to do. Ran to the front bedroom and turned that A/C off which is a hand dial switch. So within 3 seconds of turning off the genny i had also killed 1 of the a/c units.
I can barely run off a 15 amp breaker either. Temporarily hooked the 14 gauge wire to a spare 20amp breaker. The garage outlet im using is about 30 feet from the panel. From there its a 50' 10 gauge electrical cord. Need to install a 30 or 50 amp setup at some point if im going to be doing the shore power thing during the summer temps.
