Hi,
I did not say the inverter struggled. I said the fault light (over load) came on for a brief time (less than a second). I did not monitor the DC voltage, nor track the AC voltage.
Prior to the Magnum, I had a cobra 2500 MSW. It too would start the roof air (easier than the microwave, actually). But being MSW I did not wish to run the motor in the air conditioner.
My unit is a 13500 Dometic from 2004.

I can't imagine 3000w sine wave inverter struggles to start your air.
My Prosine 1800 run the air better than utility power. (RIP)
My replacement GoPower 2000w has no issues either.
Mine is a 12 yo Dometic 13.5. Inverter has 5' of 4/0 cable to the four aging GC2.
Could you need a start cap or something?
2oldman had the same issue and ended up with some monster 48v inverter.
