WARNING: Central Air is usually 220 v

Many RV generators are only 120V... My Onan is 120V

2 legs, but both legs are same (in parallel) so it's only 120V

Theory has it I can re-wire the Onan for 240 volt but I have not attempted it or researched beyond formulation of theory.

But the L-1 L-2 voltage on my generator is always zero, won't run the house A/C. Did, however, run everything else save the cloths dryer (240 volt) and range (Gas)
