Well, I kind of wondered what kind of generator NJ thought that Winnebago
put in a 2006 Journey, but....

When the OP wrote: "2006 32T Winnebago Journey with an Onan 7.5k diesel
generator.", it didn't seem like a real jump to figure out it was a Quiet
Diesel. But hey....

I didn't know for sure* so rather than firing from the hip and risking being
authoritatively wrong (Ex: Nate and Snoman), I conditioned my answer to both the
probable (Quiet Diesel) and the possibility of something else. I know that people
rely on my advice and take actions based on it so I try my best not to be wrong.
Being criticized for that caution just proves the old adage, "No good deed goes
unpunished."

My apologies to those whose little minds I confused.

* I entertained several possibilities as I composed my answer: 1)Winnebago is large
enough to have Onan make a special OEM genset for them if they desire. 2) the OP
could have replaced the OEM generator and not mentioned it. Similarly important
details get omitted here in the first statement of the problem all the time. 3) The
dealer could have ordered the RV without a generator and installed one from his
overstock of older units. Dealers do that kind of stuff all the time, after all.

That the OP said "I have the circuit diagrams from Winnebago's web site but still
can't figure this out." made me consider alternatives to the Quiet Diesel since it is
fairly obvious from the specs that the Quiet Diesel isn't dual voltage.
