genset voltage meter on dash

[timvasqz]

RoseMary, Gen sets have many diff setups to charge the batteries and
owners have modified even the factory setups
1- some gensets are charged off the genhead that makes the 120
volts. there is a 12/14 volt output off the genhead.
2- some have an automotive type alt driven off the generators Motor
via a belt. .
3- still some are charged off the housebattteries and 120V
chargers/converters.
4- who knows what mods were done to the configuration on your bus.
and how it is charged now
