Hi Marc, and welcome to iRV2! You'll get a better response if you start a "new thread", posting your question with a title something like: "A/C Causes Generator to Quit".
That said, it could be that your A/C demands more current than the generator is providing. In the new thread (topic), if you can post more details on the generator (what is the rating in kilowatts, whether it's a diesel/gasoline, and manufacturer's name), you'll get a lot more help.
Again, welcome to iRV2!

There should be a manual for your Gen in links above that should supply you the answer.

Im in a E350 Ford chassis on a fourwinds. The Onan 4kw genny has spluttered after 7 hours running from service. The fuel, 12v are good and plugged, and appliances are off and it coughs a bit like it wants to start. Does it sound like the air filter or Spark plug, or should I be thinking of somit else. Cheers Brian from UK, currently in San Diego...

Can anyone tell me where to find, and how to get to the air filter on my QD10000 Onan? Is not in any manual I have referenced.

Anyone know the thread size of the oil drain plug on a 7.5 Onan QD. Would like to have a Fumoto valve ordered before next oil change. Thanks all.

Fault Codes for Onan genset
I have a 2007 5500 Onan Marquis Gold that is giving me a fault code of 47. The manual say a 47 is "controller unable to sense ignition". I just returned from a trip where it worked great the whole time. I spent $ 867.00 on it prior to the trip for a new carburetor and service. I really don't want to have to take it back to that shop. Any thoughts on what I can do.

Synthetic oil
I have a Generac 55G generator in a 1999 Monaco and wondering if
it's a good idea to change over to using Synthetic oil.
I thinking it will run better and cooler with synthetic oil
but is it too late or bad idea.
Nick
