Generator question
I own a 2018 Passport 2520RL that has a 15,000 btu A/C. I have an 11 yr old Briggs & Stratton model 030253 generator that has 8550 starting watts and 5550 running watts. It has a 120/240 Volt Ac, 30 amp receptacle, four prong flat type(not the RV type). I plug in with an adapter. The A/C starts up and then the compressor immediately shuts off and only the fan is barely on. The clock on the microwave blinks. The generator also bogs down. It seems that the generator can't handle the A/C and that's really what I want it to do. Based on the wattage numbers, one would think it should. Any comments would be appreciated.
