  • Did it ever work?

    +1 to check the start capacitor or have a mobile RV tech do it.
  • One other thing is make sure you are using the 3 prong plug and not the 20 amp plugs
  • Quite often this is where a "hard start capacitor" might save the day, assuming that all the equipment is already functioning correctly.
  • That Honda should be capable of running that A/C with out even struggling. Either something else is on that you are not aware of or that Honda needs service.
  • converter / water heater

    start generator BEFORE you need the A/C, charge the batteries before turning on A/C, run A/c on "FAN" while charging

    do NOT wait until the RV is HOT to start the A/C, let the compressor start working early

    if this doesn't do it, get a NEW 'run capacitor' for the A/c
    the old one might be bad

    Make sure the converter is off as well and not attempting to charge the battery.
