There is a Nema L14-30R outlet on the unit, but we thought it is for 240 VAC, since it is labeled thus. Could we be mistaken? The unit also has (2) 120 VAC duplex outlets, along with a 12 VDC outlet.
I'm calling my FIL this morning and ask him to find the owners manual for the genset, and check what voltage the L14-30R outlet is supposed to be.
Thanks.
On edit: I believe he has the late model C46535 genset.
Your FIL's genset has two independent 120 volt outlets. One is fused at 20 amps, the other at 15 amps. Try switching the cord for the RV between outlets before you do anything (you want to be plugged into the 20 amp fused outlet). If the breaker still trips with his RV and air conditioner, you will need to change the generator from series to parallel windings (detal has been previously posted on this forum). Send me a an e-mail if you need help on the details.
Forget the NMEA 14-30 outlet. It was designed for 220 volt output and is no value to you on an RV.
Headed for Lake Anna this afternoon with the camper and boat. I will have no Internet connection for the next 5 days. If you need further info from me, It will be Monday before I can get back to you.
