I don't know about everyone else, but, I don't read posts without punctuation. Those long sentences make my head hurt.

thanks mister wizard I think your on the right track with high 12 volt current because this will happen more when I accelerate more than engine idling making the altenator charge more what is the cure for the problem can always wire in a stand alone 12 volt stand alone battery just for traveling when generator is on

Chances are we'd better understand what you're trying to say if you broke your post into logical sentences ... as it is, a post consisting of one long run on sentence is tough to decipher. Maybe MrWizard understands? :h

you have a voltage problem on the 12v control circuits
generator on for A/C, converter is on and charging batteries
engine running alternator is also charging batteries
im guessing you have a higher voltage alternator than usual

try un-plugging the converter, flipping off the CB for the converter
this might reduce the 12v circuit voltage enough for things to operate normal
if not you need to look into this voltage situation
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !
