If you are going to do this often, I would recommend a soft start capacitor for your TT. Less of a surge. I also would be very aware of AC, microwave, and coffee maker etc. TV is nothing. Gas, no idea, running empty would not be good, I'm sure it will depend how much AC actually runs.

The generator is designed to run on 2 legs (@240volt) that's why they make 120V Generators for RV's
You running it on 1 leg totally unbalance (you try to run on one leg (this a funny))
If you ask any Generator Tech they will tell you its bad for the Generator and asking for problems
PS: My bold statement was indented not to plug in the camper cord strait into the 240V outlet (will edit)

Thank you... I'm NOT even an amateur on any of this but the literal to figurative comparison of "legs" in that analogy was giving me a migraine.
