Just bought 2000 Dodge Roadtrek 190 P. Meter is reading voltage as high as 19 while connected to shoreline. What's going on? Don't want to fry anything!

Well you said it all when you said "Magnatek 6345"
As converters go this is the basement and then some. there is no voltage regulation. or nearly so, the "Regulation" if you can call that is what is called a Ferroresonant or saturated core transformer.. IT's designed for 110-115 volt input not today's 120 volt standard and it simply can not control it's output.
It's a well known battery boiler/killer
Recommend a Progressive Dynamics 4655 to replace the rear part (The "Guts") of the 6345
Here is a link to the company web site. You can get one from most RV places or Best Converters

Thanks, hubby figured it out. Hopefully won't have to replace it soon.

Replace it as soon as your budget permits. You will save the purchase price in better battery life & performance. There are kits available to replace the innards of your 6345 with a modern 3-stage switch-mode converter/charger.

The kit Gary suggested is relatively inexpensive and easy to install.

And it looks to be about the best price to be had. That kit is very available from Amazon and several other places, but I didn't seen any to beat the price he found.
