I'll replace the current start cap and see what happens. My gen is more than enough to start the Dometic.Re: Brand new rv 13.5btu AC issueGuess fault is not the correct term. Gen goes to overload. I stated nothing else running. I threw the breakers for everything but the AC. I have determined the start cap is dead on the fan side. Just asking if that is enough to overload the gen. Regardless the start cap will be replaced.Re: Brand new rv 13.5btu AC issueI checked the start cap with a capacitance meter before I ohmed the fan side.Brand new rv 13.5btu AC issueI have a brand new Winnebago Micro Minnie with a 13.5 btu AC that runs fine but my 3400watt generator won't start it, goes to fault every time with nothing else going. I confirmed my gen to be good by starting a friends 15.0 AC with no problems. His RV was pulling 4 amps before we tried the AC so its not the generator. So I climb up on my unit and check the start capacitor. The compressor side shows to be good. The fan side no capacitance. Ohm meter shows dead short. I'll replace the start cap but do you think that will solve the problem? It seems the fan side is so small compared to the compressor side. Thanks Tex
