Yes. If by gender you mean my generator. I think my charging circuit is bad. Now I get no voltage increase at the batteries when plugged into shore but 13.75 when plugged into my truck.

No adapter. 30 amp.

Generator voltage is 123. When plugged into shore there is 13.04 at battery. 12.56 with gen.

Correct. 2008 5th wheel. Generator is external. Same power cord for both shore and gen power.

Thanks Kevin. I'm not running anything else. Zip nada. I will check voltage at the batteries though. Should have done that already. I was just looking at the charge light on my system status panel which doesn't come on when on generator power but does on shore power or plugged into the truck.

Well thanks again. I thought I might get an idea before I turned it over to some place that would bend me over. Lol.

I'm back to my original question. Is there something in the rv converter that "knows" where the volts are coming from? I would think 120 was 120. But I'm really light on electrical stuff.

The 2800 watt champion is an inverter type and I measured the output at 120.

Thank you for your time. I sure appreciate it.

No they are 120 volts. It's like the charging circuit for the generators is bad. But how would the converter know where the 120 was coming from? Weird.

I guess I mean converter-my bad. 30 amp and tried two generators. An 1800 watt ryobie and a 2800 watt champion.

Yes everything else works.

Is there a switch in an inverter that lets it know if you are on shore power or generators? My batteries charge from shore power and from my truck but not from a generator. About to drive me nuts.
