I checked with Dick this morning and the Onan can be wired for 220. It is in the
Onan manual that I have for my 6kw and we have done it. It acually is a good mod
for 110 also as it gives you two separate 110 volt feeds - one at 30 Amps and one
at 20 amps. If any one wants the info let me know and I will write it up when I
get my coach back from NC sometime before the millenium.

I will post here and also send info to Patrick to see if he will post on his
site. It may not be until after Tday, as I will not get my GMC back until next
weekend.
