If you have an Onan Quiet Diesel 7.5 or 8 kw generator these do not put out 240 volts. These are actually producing two 120 volt legs of power through a large inverter. If you were to try to measure between L1 and L2 you would read zero volts. This is because they are in the same phase of a sine wave. Your shore power coming into the coach is however 120/240 volt and so your EMS will show exactly what you are seing and it is correct. On generator power the amperage at the top of the EMS is the total being used.
