Gday,
The Kingsley has a 30 amp cable hard wired into the coach, however, the Onan receptacle is 50 amps as is the cable from the Onan
itself. I has an Onan Emerald which puts out 6500 watts. It has two roof air units, which I believe are OEM 13,500 BTU (front) and
11,000 BTU (rear).
Ive studied the wiring diagram: http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showfull.php?photo=65010
But cant figger out why the shore power cord is wired for 50 amps, however the Onan receptacle is wired for 30 amps?

Rob,
I also own a 75 Avion that I am redoing. My Cable is a 50 amp cable and the plug for the generator is also an 50 amp. I believe that all the Avions were supplied with 50 amp service. I suspect that the PO removed the 50 amp cable because it was a PIYA to shove it into the storage compartment and rewired for a 30 amp cable. The stretch is also a 50 amp inlet , but I use an auto transfer switch to change between the generator ( Generac 6.5) and shore power. I have changed how the 50 amp cable is attached to the coach. I do not at the present time have an external 50 amp outlet plug on the coach. I will be added a plug so I could provide power to the house or another coach.
Give me a couple of hours and I will take and post how I have done the power on the Stretch and will be doing the Avion in the same setup adding a transfer and other necessary items.
