Ok, sorry.
To be clear I’m 100% boon docking. I have 30 amp shore power AND the onboard built in Onan generator. Attached to the shore power cord is a Honda generator to run the air conditioning since I’m in Florida where you run it 8 hours a day. Didn’t want to put those hours on the onboard generator.
The behavior is the same for both generators, except the onboard generator is smart enough to shut off when things go weird.
Distribution panel and/or breakers was my thought as well.
I didn’t know if there was a second device somewhere that caused that delay when you feed AC to the RV. You know. Plug it in, turn on the generator, but whatever the power source, it waits a few seconds before connecting. Was suspicious of that.
I’ll check breakers first and wiring at distribution panel.
