In a pinch, you may be able to unplug the charger/converter to have less load. Make sure your water heater and fridge is running on LPG and does not switch to electric when running the Honda. Your Honda should not be running in ECO mode when running the AC.
For me, there are too many limitations with this Honda setup. But, I was spoiled with an Onan 5500 in my toy hauler that could run everything I wanted at the same time. The baby Onan 2400 in the truck camper keeps up with my demands , but I keep an eye on how many concurrent devices are drawing power.
Longer term solutions of adding soft start capacitors and separate fan and compressor controls may help in your use of a Honda with a larger AC unit.
