Generator output voltage

I have a Kipor KGE 3000TI I bought used.
Generator runs my 13000 btu ac using 30amp plug. Also the 120v outlets will power equipment like a angle grinder just fine.
When I use multimeter to check voltage output at the outlets I'm only seeing 60 volts or so. Why is this?

    That's what the OP said he did.

    I am not clear on that either. The OP's first post: "When I use multimeter to check voltage output at the outlets I'm only seeing 60 volts or so."

    OP, please verify you are checking voltage in one of the "house style" outlets in the RV-- and checking between the long straight (neutral) and short straight (hot) VS at the generator outlet.
