Professor... when using the 120/240V outlet, only one leg is regulated. (or so I thought?) My cord had four outlets on the other end... one pair from one leg, the other pair from the other leg. My belief has been that when loading on the unregulated leg caused the voltage to drop considerably from 120 down to 95V etc.
Can you give me a guessestimate as to what the loads were or even a measured figure if you have the ability to measure? Kill-A-Watt meters do an excellent job of giving current and voltage up to loads of 15 amps and fit the North American style duplex outlet. For their low cost they make a good RVer investment. A voltage drop down to 95V is not anything close to normal. You may have other problems that need investigating.
The most useful information would be the amperage and voltage on the leg from MW1 and then the amperage and voltage on MW2 as the generator is running. Then, switch loads to the opposite legs and take the measurements again.
