3500 watts continuous give you about 28.5 Amps. Usually enough to run your camper at near normal for a 30 Amp service.
There are many opinions on how low the voltage can get before damage to AC motor will occur. What happens is as the voltage drops, the current (Amps) draw increases causing excess heat which will cause the motor to burn out. I've always use 105 volts as my cutoff point. I wouldn't run the AC very long at low voltage.
Invest in a good meter so you know what is in the camper. Even at campgrounds you can see low voltage situations often.
