The RV is a Dometic 10,200 BTU
The camper is a Frigidaire between 5,000 and 8,000 BTU. I can't quite get to the model/serial number to confirm. But it is a 18 foot camper, so I would lean toward a 5-6 BTU for that unit.
I have a class B rv with a 2800 microlite generator. Will this genny power not only the AC in the Roadtrek, but also the window AC unit in my pull behind camper? If so, could I plug the bumper pull camper into a 110v outlet in the Roadtrek? I would put an adapter on the 30 amp cord.
