The other day we were heading down the highway and the wife wanted to know if she could plug in her new warming pad and I told her that I thought so, The next time we stopped I took my trusty little meter that shows the voltage in the line and plugged it into the outlet closest to the microwave and it pegged at over 130 volts.Oops. I then plugged it into the outlet next to the dinette table and it still went to 130+. Checked them when we were plugged into shore power and they were ok.Needless to say she didn't get to use her warming pad while we were cruising highway.

So now,what's happening and how can it be fixed?
