amp reader do you mean a KILL-A-Watt meter or something similar for 15amp circuits ?
I normally turn off everything besides the fridge when plugging into shore or starting the genny. Only exception is dry camping i leave lights and radio playing and crank the gen over. Wait a few minutes before using the microwave or A/C. Depends on the ambient temp and how long ago it was started. If 40F outside i let it warm up a little longer than when camping in 120F.
Do you turn fridge to gas? I would.
