did you try it with 'Econ' mode on or off
try it with econ OFF on both gensets
also check to make sure fridge and water heater are not on electric
are your batteries charged?
if tne converter is using genset amps to bring up low batteries , then you are robbing power from the A/C
generators have a finite amount of power, they do'nt have the large surge capacity of shore power
that was one of my thoughts... the batteries are pretty much shot and pulling way to much in a perpetual charge cycle??
if i disconnect the batteries will it hurt anything? more importantly will i get a true bypass test? (no.. i dont know what im exactly asking other than by deleting the batteries will it help isolate the issue?)
eta: econ on and off.. all ac breakers thrown except for the air conditioner
etaX2...now that im thinking about it...when i plugged the camper in with all the AC breakers off, it did surge and stay at a higher rpm when i plugged the camper in... i guess that indicates a draw somewhere...i dont thing the CO2 would rev the gennies up... has to be a DC draw somewhere that is pulling on it
