The genny is adequate at best. You can't run water heaters, micro ,etc with ac on and genny running. At least I couldn't when I owned mine,
Agree - on generator you can only have A/C on and all other things off. If you turn on water heater or microwave it will cause power management system to cycle power.

Hi. Newly here. Bought a new 2017 AS Interstate Lounge about 3 months ago. Sorry for my naivety. When running the coach A/C, using generator power, the A/C runs for about a minute then cuts off. A few minutes later it starts back up, and runs for a minute or two, then cuts off, and continually repeats this. Needless to say, nobody in the back gets a comfortable temp. The power control center has lights that come on in this order: "micro-coffee-A/C-w/h." All 4 lights are on when the A/C is running (as expected), but then they go off in reverse order; when the A/C light goes off, so does the A/C. It seems to me that I should be able to run the A/C with the generator as long as needed. Any suggestions here? Thanks in advance. Jay (Shihan)
Are the water heater electric switch or the microwave are also ON, or another high load is plugged into the 120v outlet? Any of these could overload the generator and cause the load shedding circuit to act?

Nothing else is plugged in or running, except for the refrigerator. There must be a hidden drain on the power. I don't have a lot of faith in our local RV Dealer's service dept, but I think I'll let them have a crack at it.
