One of the downfalls of an Inverter generator is its slow response to a sudden load, like a motor starting in the A/C. The generator engine needs to speed-up to supply the load, in the mean time it browns-out with low voltage, or just shuts down its output to protect itself.

Newer models may have overcome this and some newer RV A/C units have soft-start to lessen the sudden load.

Or I maybe all wrong.
