I ask because the model number of your generator brings up a manual showing 120/240 as standard- meaning you can get both 120 and 240 out of the generator at the same time page 40 (6-6)

Even if the generator can service the needs of the dryer and the rest of the coach how could I wire a switch to allow it to switch between 110 and 220? |

Do you have a schematic or tech sheet to this combo?
Normally you would jump L2 to the neutral and only use the timed dry or low heat setting. You will get 1/4 of the normal heating power from the dryer. (see pic of a typical dryer wiring diagram) However, with a combo, I've seen the washer motor L1-N, while the dryer motor is L2-N. A bit more complicated than a jumper. You could in theory wire the thing to a 15 amp 120 volt circuit and have a switch where either the washer works or the dryer works but not both. |
