2005 Fleetwood Fiesta Shedding Constantly

Good Morning All... I have a 2005 Fleetwood Fiesta 32S. The other day, I started the generator (Onan 5500) to exercise it a little while and when I turned on the AC to cool the MH down, I noticed that the AC was not cooling well at all and the SHED light was on constantly even with only 1 AC running.
I do not know if it always did that because I only got the motorhome a few months ago but I would really light to figure this out.
1 AC= Shed light on and RED
2 AC= Shed light solid red on both and only one AC runs.
Thanks in advance for you time helping me out.

If you are hooked to shore power do the air conditioners run good?

Check the generator breakers, there will be two. Switch them off and on again.

Look around for a Switch that sets the air conditioners for shore or generator power.

Today I checked both breakers. Turned them off and back on. I also checked the converter panel and all was fine there as well. The shed light remains solid red on generator I also tried to run the engine at the same time just in case and that didn’t help either

Are you disconnected from shore power when you are running the generator?

On my load shed panel, the lights are green, not red. When illuminated, the circuit is live. When the draw exceeds the available power, (such as trying to run an AC when just plugged in a 15a house circuit) the AC light simply goes off. It does not change colors.
Are you sure that you have the 2nd AC turned on? You can turn on/off each AC independently from the other at the tstat. Press the Zone button to toggle between 1&2, then press the Mode button to turn AC unit off/on

It sounds as if the system is working right but the 2nd AC isn’t turned on.

When the generator is running have you measured the voltage it is producing with a voltmeter at an outlet?
