Light Switches and Generator Wattage
would like to know if anyone can tell what these switches are to. the red and green control the living area lights, the amber comes on, but don't know what it powers, and the blue blows the fuse in it. the wires coming out of the back of the switches are the same gauge and color.
how can I find the wattage of this onan 3.o rv genset

What coach is this on? The generator wattage can be found in the model number. Usually it is in kilowatts. Example 7,500 watt would be a 7.5 in the model number.

3000 watt generator. The switches are probably light switches added to the chassis from the coach builder.

thanks rv wizard and mr.d. the gen is not working as of now, so I use a portable gen (predator 3200/4000) to run the unit. the gen was running when we purchased the rv two years ago, but stopped running. it has only 174 hrs on it, and I have heard that this is bad for a gen. it only clicks now when you try to start it.
