it MUST stay in the 120 position, the RV ready has it's full output available at the 30amp RV plug at 120 vac ( minus the loss caused by altitude )
your trailer is wired 120 only,
240 volts will damage things, in your trailer
the reason , the genny would not run both the A/C and the MW is power loss
at 8000 ft your genny does not have the same power output ( it's the thin-air carb-engine issue )
engines loose a percentage ( 5 or 10 ?) for every 1000ft of altitiude increase
do what we all do, turn the temp control of the A/C unit over to warm ( so only the blower is running ) throw the popcorn or whatever into the MW, when the item is done, turn the temp control of the A/C back to cool
this way the A/C compressor is not running ( heavy amps ) while the MW is trying to cook
at lower altitude , it might run both it depends, on how much power each uses
at the lake you should be able to run the coffee maker & A/C
If it's not an alpine lake at high altitude
coffee makers uses less amps ( i think ) than the MW.
