Greetings and Happy Holidays,

I have recently had a replacement 6K Onan generator, circa 1978, installed in my 78 Royale and noticed a problem. In the 120v receptacle next to the entrance door to my coach I have plugged in a meter to show the amount of AC volts I have being supplied to the motorhome. I originally purchased it to check out how many AC volts are being supplied when hooked up to shore power. The problem I have is when the generator is running the meter is pinned out of the high range of the meter. When I plug into the shore power it registers within the acceptable parameters of the meter. Is there a regulator on the Onan that might not be working? I don’t want to overload and burn up anything.

Thanks,


AMDGMCMan
