Thanks canonman!

The trailer didn’t come with any batteries and I tried running the A/C using house power to do the same thing and it would pop the breaker as soon as the compressor would kick on(ran fine with just the fan)so I bought a used generator to try everything out, that’s when I noticed the inability of the generator to run the A/C without it bogging down pretty ugly when the compressor kicked on(fan ran fine). I will be running off the generator when we go out the majority of the time to recharge the batteries from us using the lights and heater. I like the idea of being able to run the A/C if need be off the generator and that’s where I am stuck because it can’t and the generator is sized appropriately (according to what is needed for a 13.5k A/C)and my A/C unit already has the hard start Cap installed(don’t know if it working)

I will spend the $200.00 and get the batteries for the trailer and try the generator and A/C .

Thanks again everyone!
