Ran genset, now seeing 19+ volts from solar
My MH has been sitting in the driveway for several weeks with the solar panels keeping it charged. NO shore power. Today I went in to run the genset. The voltage meter read 13.6v before I did anyt...

So the genset starts with the fuse blown? It must be wired to the chassis battery, not the house battery.
Don't replace the fuse with a higher capacity one without first verifying that the wiring and other components beyond the fuse can safely handle the higher current. The fuse is a safety device; putting in an oversized one defeats much of that.
The fuse may have blown not because more than 100A was flowing through it but because of e.g. aging or somewhat poor connections at the fuse causing extra heating.
