Charge Controller/Converter issue?

Are you able to plug temporarily into a household outlet and see if the readings are the same?

It's a 3650 watts continuous Champion.

When trying to chase down an electrical issue (of which I can no longer recall...) I ran into this exact same 65v gremlin a couple years back, but could never interpret it’s causation... What ever the cause, I could only write it off as a phantom meter reading as it turned out to be unrelated to the primary issue (??) at that time...Wish I could remember more details, but the 65v oddity still sticks in my memory...Though to my knowledge it hasn’t raised its ugly head since, I’m still a bit perplexed by this occurrence...Now that I read about this here (a validation), there must be some combination of sinusoidal events (half wave??) that can result in this kinda reading...

Now I have something to think about in all my new found spare time - thinking cap ON - lol!

On edit, I now believe this reading arose when running the genny (Honda 2000), but voltage at the inline killawatt meter (genny outout) remained normal at all times...

With the OP’s post, now I won’t rest - dang !!

No it's not normal and potentially dangerous. What kind of RV are we talking about, a motorhome or trailer or truck camper? Is the generator built in or a portable?

If a portable check if the shore power cord has a replacement end on it. If so unplug and disassemble the plug and make sure there are no stray wires jumping from screw to screw and allowing a voltage leak.

Checked the cord and it doesn't have a replacement end on it.

Here we go with "bonded", Earthed", "grounded", "floating neutral". Get some popcorn!

Don't know about the box fan at half speed.

It's a Travel Trailer (R Vision Trail Lite), portable generator, Okay I'll check the cord.

If the camper is not grounded? Edit: So how would I check to make sure I'm getting the correct voltage to the plugs?

It's not grounded.
