There is an issue with the generator. The econo mode is supposed to throttle down under light load and throttle up when the demand increases. I would not use it until you get it fixed or replaced as running the camper at 97 volts will damage systems. Most EMS systems disconnect at 105 volts to prevent damage for good reason.
