You need a neutral ground plug like this one

if you need it right now, you can google "DYI neutral ground plug" or  "DYI neutral bond plug" and make one today.  All it takes is a screw driver, 120V 15amp plug, and 2" of wire (I used 12ga 20Amp)

I use a 2000 watt generator (with the ground plug) and it powers up the Ollie and the AC.

I do have to shut off the breaker to the inverter/charger for it to power up the AC compressor.
