with the generator producing 120v power, you won't 'need' the Inverter... though many of us leave it on, regardless, as it then is simply 'passing thru' that 120v power, just like when you're plugged into Shore Power.
the generator will typically run for 20-30 seconds before your ATS(Automatic Transfer Switch) switches over to it, so if you turn 'ON' the air conditioner before that, or it was already 'ON' when you crank the generator, it may not start until the ATS switches.
btw, there really is no 'sequence' to when to turn on the air conditioner, since it will obviously NOT work before you have the generator running, or are plugged into Shore Power, anyway. You can turn it 'ON' anytime, otherwise, but the Thermostat will simply show it 'ON', but nothing will happen without the generator or shore power. The Thermostat works on 12v power, so it is operational, regardless.
