When connected to rpod 192 Honda 2200 gen shuts down if I use micro or coffee maker. Everything works fine when on landline.

What else do you have turned on?

Water heater ac element?
Fridge on ac?
Air conditioner?

If on, turn that stuff off or put it on propane and see what happens. The

The Honda can't run all that stuff at once, so use your propane for the fridge and water heater when not on shore power. It can't run the air conditioner at the same time as the micro so you will have to choose one or the other. It might or might not be able to start the air conditioner even if nothing else is on. There is a fix for that if you find that to be a problem for you.

+1 to OG...using a small generator means always electrical load managing so as not to ask too much of your genny. Both the microwave and a coffeemaker take a lot of power to run.

If you want use your aircon with the Honda, search EasyStart in this forum or on the interweb. Lots of info on it.

Charging batteries if they are down is a silent load when you turn on the generator

An excellent point, jii. You would hear the genny power up as soon as you have warmed it up and plug the trailer in, even with everything else turned off.

LOL! A 1500 watt coffeemaker + an 1800 watt microwave on a 2200 watt generator? What is wrong with this picture?

Maybe buy a Kill-a-watt?

The OP said microwave OR coffee maker, not both. Hopefully he/she will post back to clarify.
