does a 12K unit have a 50 amp feed (4 wire) or 30 (3 wire)like a 8K?? if it has a 50 amp feed just like the shore power you could tap in to the system fairly easy
if its the same as a 30amp 8K you wont get 240V nohow
Thats the kind of thing I would like to find out BEFORE we start working on this. I have heard various versions of this. I need 240 volts to make it work the way he wants or he'll be stuck with essentially what I have (120) but at higher current. EVSE's will run fine on 120 but most have a 12 amp pilot signal to the car when running on 120. There are some that send a 32 amp pilot to the car on 120 but obviously it is still half the speed of 32 amps at 240. I need somebody to measure across the breakers on a coach with a 12K Onan. Takers??

Like I suggested if the 12K has two 120V( hot) outputs like a 50 amp shore power has You can get your 240 if It only has one like a 30 amp system then you can not
