generator

Opened the generator compartment today to prepare for tune up and I noticed the whole generator sways back and forth. The brackets are just hanging down and not supported side to side. Is this normal? I would assume the swaying will eventually stress the metal and start cracking. TYIA for your...

Hi all, just like the topic says, what do you consider a high amount of hours on the Onan 8K diesel generator? And then soon after require a rebuild or replacement. This is of course assuming proper maintenance is kept up to date. 500? 1000? 10,000? Thank you

Does anyone have suggestions for a make and model generator? I am looking for one that can run the air conditioning, lighting, entertainment, functions, and other small things. I could probably live without using the microwave and AC simultaneously. I’m just looking for a good generator that...

Have a 2020 Forrest River 2290S with a Onan 4000 generator. Generator starts fine put won't connect to ac or microwave. Before when I started the gen set it would run a minute or so and I would hear a beep when the ac and microwave would be available to start, now no beep or power available...

We just spend 3 days boon-docking and found that the generator still takes a long time to top off the batteries. About 7 hours to go from 55%SOC to 99%SOC. Right way we found that the battery setup was incorrect, set to flooded versus custom, as mentioned in prior forums to be a Firefly...

Hello, Just sharing this simple fix in case anyone else has this trouble. I have a Westinghouse Igen 4200 and a Dometic 13.5 A/C with a Softstart. I did all of the mods to the trailer and bought the new generator a year ago. Everything worked great in my driveway. At the end of August, I...

Have a 2021 FR3 30DS. Ran AC at home for 45 min. but AC would not start up to add load. Got an E4 code which is either low refrigerant or compressor not running. It's a new coach and AC worked fine a month ago while plugged into park's 50A. First time to test under load with generator. What am...

I am looking for a portable generator that will run my 15000 A/C that is quiet so I can run it at parks when needed and not upset the other campers. My A/C does not have the easy start option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have a 2017 forester model 2801qs gts Once a month I run the generator to make sure it is functioning like it should. I run it for about 20 min. Today when I ran the generator I decided to turn on the furnace and check for heat, fan runs but no heat. I shut off the furnace. When I shut off...

Hi everyone, we have an oil leak from our Generac onboard generator. The whole area behind the outside cover is clean but underneath is really oily. I can’t see where the drain plug is and took a video and still can’t locate it. I’m thinking that is where the leak is from. The generator is...

2022 and below Geo Pro doesn't have a bumper or receiver hitch. Looking for ideas for a cargo carrier for generator and fuel. The front protrudes over the tongue and appears to preclude any above LP tank platform.

Has anyone bought there Impression with a factory generator installed. I’m trying to figure out if I can install one in the front compartment.if so can you please post some pictures of it in your fifth wheel. Thanks

Have a 2014 XLR 27Hfs. It has the 4k Cummins Onan generator installed. Generator starts up and runs fine and sounds good, however the exhaust glows orange. This leads me to belive the carb is clogged/out of adjustment and running lean or the muffler is clogged. I bought it used and found a old...

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this question. We have a 2017 Georgetown that we use for tailgating a lot. We have an exhaust pipe extender for generator, but the exhaust is under slider, so if you put slider out it doesn't work. Seems like design flaw. I was thinking of extending a...

We've read several places that when the generator is not normally used it should be run, with a load on it, for anywhere from 10 mins to 2 hours per month. What is Forest Rivers recommendation? Personally, I feel that 2 hours is excessive and my wife thinks that 10 mins isn't enough.

hopefully a simple question: What battery does the generator starter run off? the Chassis battery or the Coach batteries? Thanks Dean

I have an 05 Forester with an onboard 33 amp generator. We do a lot of boondocking and it seems I’m always checking the batteries. Has anyone added an auto start to an older Oman generator? Is there a kit available? Thanks.

(2013 Georgetown 329DS) Onan 5500 Generator Dometic 13500 A/C (original a/c) Just got back from a trip and we had issues with the generator not running great, and also had issues with the rear A/C. Not sure if the issues are related or not, but I think they are separate. First, I changed the...

This is the first camper I have owned with an onboard generator. With the potential of a hurricane impacting our area and maybe having to use the camper as a lifeboat, so to speak, I am wondering. If I run the generator to keep the refrigerator functioning, how long can I expect it to run on a...

We have had the pop up out twice to resorts. Both times on shore power. Now that fall is here I am looking at more primitive campsites and thinking forward to a generator. The 1910 has a 135000btu air conditioner. It looks like the harbor freight 3500 predator would be able to handle the ac but...

I have a WOLF Pup 16HE with the 12V fridge. I am considering buying a 2500 Watt Inverter to charge the battery and run the fridge during the day. I have a larger inverter generator that can run the AC, but would like something lighter for when the AC is not required. Will the smaller unit do...

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...
