Generator

[Bezzola]

I have the 4300 dual fuel generator from costco and i have starlink on the rv so my wife can work from camp.
My question is she has her laptop and the starlink plugged in and the genny runs it no problem it runs the a/c also but when she first turns it on she loses her internet connection and has to boot up again. What im thinking is when she initially starts the ac it robs all the power to start up.

I should say the the a/c 13.500 and needs 2750 to start

A small battery back up ups w/ surge protection for the starlink only (laptop will not need it), might be the cheapest fix. $100

That’s a big load draw on the generator, it will affect sensitive electronics, a hard start capacitor on the AC unit will help if it doesn’t have one. I highly recommend a surge protector on your trailer shore power as well.

The ac would pull the generator down pretty hard and trip the breaker of it or the other stuff plugged in. Try turning the ac on the lowest/warmest setting with low fan. Then once it’s going turn the temp down. Really helped mine.

. A ups from Costco or wherever will filter out your problem as suggested by sledn!
