OP: What you posted for connection is not correct. The hour pin twist lock is a 120/240 genset output. The 30TT three wire receptacle is 120 volt.
The twist lock only has a 240 volt output rated at 14.6 amps. See page 6 of owner's manual
You should be using the 30TT recptacle to get full load from genset.
What is shore power connection in your rig?
This makes sense. If you are indeed using the 4 pin connector to a 50A 4 pin RV cord you are only able to use 1/2 of that power for any one of the 120V devices.
Our 2000W Honda struggles with the microwave so 1/2 of 3500W would definitely do so.
Since your RV doesn't need 240V, using the 30TT will allow all of the wattage at 120V, which in turn can be connected to both legs of the RV via an adapter.
