generator

We are headed to the Balloon Fiesta next week and I keep remembering that I need to do something about my generator’s exhaust even with my battery + solar upgrades. I previously bought (and still have) my Genturi. The problem now is, the exhaust of my generator comes out under a slide out and I...

2022 DX3 37BD Generator shuts off intermittently. Checked oil and it’s within range. Battery’s all show fine on firefly. No codes on firefly. There was a wire that was unplugged on the inverter. I plugged it back in. It was either the remote or batt temp plug. I don’t remember as they are...

Here's a tragic example of how a CO sensor failed to save lives: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-shut-off-switch-was-supposed-to-prevent-99-of-generator-related-deaths-it-failed-a-family-of-three/ar-AA124EgQ?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=2c34153e358941c1b72a799de34ec295 Just my observation...

Hi guys, 2020 Forest River Sunseeker 3010DS we bought used this year. We’ve traveled 9k miles since May so far so good. ONAN 4000 generator problems. 122 hours on it. Sometimes runs well overnight when boondocked. In really, really hot weather (110+ degrees) after running about an hour it...

Rig: 29' Coachman Freedom Express Added 1 Go Power Solar Panel 2 12v deep cycle batteries in Parallel, less than a year old Westinghouse Generator 30 amp shore power Thanks in advance for any feedback on how to diagnose this problem We went on our first boon docking experience and prior to...

Help! I can't remember how to start our generator. We have a class A Georgetown 359. The generator has not been started in a year. I flipped the battery on, primed the generator, then pushed to start... and it did not start. Did I forget something? Or do I need to call a service guy? Thanks!

Looks like it is time to figure out why the generator won't start. Guess I will have to find the manual and then pull it out of the location to troubleshoot it. It turns over and the prime light comes on but will not start. Sunseeker 3010ds. Really lucky on this unit as it a 2018 built on a 17...

I have a 2022 Forester with a generator that IS NOT A ONAN. Generator at high load vibrates so hard ( when AC is running) the access door with the latches dogged down vibrated lose and came off the generator. I hope this isn't a standard for the non ONAN manufacturer. at partial or less than...

I recently bought an Sunseeker Forrest River camper. The remote hour meter on the Forrest River control panel is blank. The remote generator start works fine. I get 12.44 vdc across the hour meter terminal connectors when the generator is running (o vdc when not running). The generator is a...

I've read through a couple of old threads on generators. We are headed to do some Harvest Host and Boon docking camping and I'd like to ensure we have AC for those hot days. Most of our camping has been in some pretty hot regions and I just can't sleep without AC. I'm thinking about the Honda...

I have 2 Coleman A/C units, 15,000 BTU in the main living area and a 13,500 BTU in the bedroom. To start with I can only get 1 softstart. I would like to put it on the 15,000 unit as that would cool off the trailer better for overnight Boondocking with the generator. My question is will the...

Currently dry camping and have monitored charging through a Victron BMV-712 battery monitor. I have an Onan 5500 watt generator. Noticed upon startup that monitor shows about 13.20 amps going in and then amps slowly decrease over time. After an hour and a half amp input is at 7.13 amps...

Sorry to bring up anything that has already been hashed out. I have read through as many of the posts as I could stand to after searching the site. As the subject line implies, I have a Transcend Xplor 297QB and I want to get a generator that will power it for dry camping. I have looked at...

Hi. We have a 327mb with 50 Amp service plug. It has 2 -15k ac units. I'd like to potentially run both units and set this up for 50amp service using generators. What would you guys recommend? I was looking at the harbor freight generators vs the Hondas. Looks like I'd have to use a parallel kit...

This is our 3rd year with a Dodge Ram 3500 megacab and a 37' Primetime Avenger BHS and we've had a fabulous time. In anticipation of doing a bit of boondocking/Harvest Host camping we purchased online a Champion generator: 4500/3500, dual fuel, inverter. The truck has a tanno cover which...

So right now I have a duel fuel generator that I put in the back of my truck before we go, it’s a 4550 on gas and a 4100 on propane for our FS176LTD. It’s pretty heavy my question is what the smallest I could go with my AC? The AC is a Coleman-Mach 48000, I know it’s big for this small of a pop...

So today I decided to change my Europa generator oil and filter. I’m not sure if my setup is a one off but the trap door on the bottom won’t work as designed because the generator is mounted so that the door can’t swing down due to the chassis frame being in the way. To get the door off requires...

Generator won’t start from Precision Plex panel on 2019 Isata 5 30FW. Starts fine from generator control panel.

We have a new 2021 Kz-rv Sportsmen LE 28BHKLE trailer with 30a power with an air conditioner; connected to a new Westinghouse iGen4500 gas generator (4500w peak/3700w running, 37.5A peak/30.8A running). AC runs for a few minutes then the overload happens on the generator. So we turn the...

My Onan QD 8000 on my 2021 I5 34DS smokes a lot when I start it at a higher altitude. I notice it a few times camping at 8,300 feet and 9,700 feet. At home around 5,300 feet, it just has the initial puff of smoke. This is during the summer when temps. are maybe 50 degrees in the morning. The...

I've been doing a bit of research on solar/battery setups and their use for my 2022 E-Pro 19BH. It has a 190 watt solar panel and I installed two 81 ah flooded batteries to start. As close as I can figure I'm using somewhere around 4 amps/hr during the night to run the camper. Problem is that...

Good evening! I am new to RVing, and bought a 2020 Forrester 2551. We took it out for a small trial run, and everything worked fine! However, now that I am back home, the generator runs, but it does not power the vehicle. Any idea where I need to look at? I have already checked the obvious...

So was running the gen getting ready for a trip and it stalls out and dies ends up giving me a code 14 , did my research also looked underneath to my surprise the wiring from the battery disconnect had no nuts holding them on to a switch underneath ( don’t know what it was ) and I have none to...

Just an FYI. Several different generators and inverters on sale. Various brands. http://www.woot.com/plus/generators-4 :trink39:

Need Help with Generac 40G 3600 watt Generator. I removed my 2007 Sunseeker from storage and the generator starts and runs fine but does not start generating AC voltage. I have experienced this before and it kicked in on a second startup. This time repeated startups do not work. I suspect a...
