If it works on shore power, focus on the generator. if it does the same on generator and shore power, focus on the air conditioner.....
Page, AZ is around 4100' altitude. That's about 600' higher than the "maximum full power altitude" for most generators.

It does do the same cycling thing on shore power but never has popped a breaker, even on a 30 Amp hookup. It just cycles and keeps working. I was thinking the same thing, restarting against pressure would spike the amps, not sure why it cycles though.
