Pete,

I would suggest just running the generator. The reason is because our generators are made to run for thousands of hours between overhauls (read 20,000 hours!).

I have friends whose buses can run 1 of the ACs off of the inverter; they never do it! The reason is because you can only run it for about 3 or 4 hours; then, they have to start the generator!

Wiring the AC to run off of the inverter is a good idea as an emergency backup i.e. generator failure, but that's about it.

Just my opinion.
