I constructed my own solar generator which consists of a Jita 300 amph LiFepo4 battery, Renogy 50 amp dc to dc charger with a mppt charge controller, Giandel 2200 watt inverter, PV combiner box capable of handling up to 6 panels and a 30 amp receptacle so I can just plug the camper in. The...

Model 4ky26100r I'm going to complain briefly before I describe the actual problem. I have now spent over $10k on this stupid generator over the last 5 years. I paid twice to have it completely replaced but the last technician who looked at it said it had never been replaced. I'm sick of being...

My Wolf Pup has a 97 AH group 27 on it, and 12 v fridge. Will a 3500 watt genny recharge my battery running half a day? Probably won't run the furnace, just lights and fridge, staying 2 nights.

Hello. In the market for an inverter generator in the 4500-5000 range. Which one are you guys/gals using and would you purchase again? Thank you

Looking to purchase a generator inverter. I was thinking of the harbor freight predator 3500 watt or 2 2000 watt with link. Was wondering if anyone has purchased either and what your thoughts are. Thanks

My new 5th wheel has a Suburban SW10DE water heater that will run on 120V, and a built-in Onan 5500 generator. Does the generator supply power to the water heater, or is the WH only 'electric' with shore power? Thanks!

Looking for some advice on a new generator I ordered--The Champion 2500 watt starting 1850 watt continuous gas model--#200950. This is a replacement for a couple Westinghouse Igen2500's that failed me during the break in period and I had to return. I have heard conflicting information as to...

Bought the rv end of 2021 and only recently able to begin using it and figuring out how everything works. Prior rv (5th wheel) didn’t have on board generator so I’ve never used one. Trying to make sure everything is working right. Hurricane season is coming soon. Tested generator today...

Hi all, we just purchased a 21 riverstone 37mre. It was gen prepped from the factory, and we had the dealer install an onan 6500. My question is, I do not see any generator related screen on the firefly. Do I have to start the generator from outside? Does the screen have to be updated...

In preparation for our summer trip I decided to check if my 2 Champion 2500 Watt Generators run in parallel would run my 15k AC. Not only did they run the 15K AC but also ran the 13.5K bedroom AC and I also was able to have the main cabin lights on (running at the same time). That is good new...

I bit the bullet and purchased an Expert Power 200 Amp Hour Lithium (LiFePO4) battery to replace the two 100 AH wet cell batteries that came with my Leprechaun 260-D. In addition, I upgraded my converter to accommodate the higher voltage required for the Lithium battery. I connected the motor...

I boondock in my 2018 REV that I bought in September 2021. The Generator was not staying running for more than 5 minutes. I had an oil change and it stayed on. 5 months later, geneartor not staying on again after about 5 minutes. I think I may have let the batteries drained too low before...

Hi folks - coming at you with a 2013 Sunseeker 3170DS. On my 3rd trip with it since buying it a month back and I usually have the Genny running while we drive to keep the cabin compartment cool. Today while running I kept hearing it almost bog down and seem like it had a hard time running...

We just picked-up a 2018 GT5 36B5 after PDI last night. Parked it at the top of our driveway last night, but it got down to 20F last night, and no higher than 35F today. So went up after work to start it up, kick-on the generator so I could fire up the furnace and heat the coach to minimize...
