We have a 2009 Winnebago Journey DP with an Onan 8500 generator that we have owned for 5 years. I have recently noticed that with the generator running but with all applicances and systems off/not running, the Powerline panel meter indicates that there are 7 amps being drawn when the gen first starts, but then the amp draw drops to about 3 amps after a few minutes and remains at around 3 amps draw. Why is there any amperage draw if all systems are off? Why would their be a drop in amp draw? Is this all normal? Does it have something to do with charging the batteries??? Or do I have a problem with an applicance/system pulling amperage when it should not be using power at all? Or is this situation normal and I just never noticed it on the Powerline panel meter. Electrical issues are not my strong point; therefore, I need advise.
Thank you.
