I did everything. Cleaned Slip rings! Bought a new Voltage Regulator! Checked all fuses and wires! Spark plugs are good. I even changed the end connector for shore power. I'm confused. Anything else I can do?

Is your meter on the DC scale and not AC? It almost seems that you are getting half wave rectified voltage.

Do you have a transfer switch or do you have to plug your shore plug into the generator for power?
Double check. I was in hurry to beat traffic one time and folded up the cord to plug in later. Couldn't get any power when at boondock campground, went nuts trying to find problem for no elec. Then remembered after checking breakers and breaker on genny itself etc. OH ya now I remember, I stuffed the cord in and didn't plug it in.

It's a Marques onan 5000. The genny runs perfect. All the switches are on the on position. Breakers are fine. We hook up a meter an it puts out 60 not 120. But I did everything rite and still no power inside the RV.

Is the generator putting out 120V at the generator breakers?

What kind and size of generator?

Did you check the voltage output from the generator right at the gen?

Can you use a volt meter and find out where it is missing?
