from what folks on the forum have said, dometic AC units seem to be easier to start than Coleman.
Anecdotally I'd have to disagree ... my Coleman Mach 3+ 13.5K BTU A/C started much easier, whether on shore power or genset, than my current Dometic Brisk II 13.5K BTU A/C under similar conditions and both equipped with an SPP6 hard start cap. Those running a ducted system controlled by a wall mount thermostat can in either case though reduce the start up load somewhat by wiring in a LO/ HI fan speed switch with a centre off position which allows one to start just the A/C compressor first, then manually start the fan once the compressor is up to speed and the genset has stabilized.
